Naming Function
OK , I will make a suggestion. It will keep me from writing it myself.
Problem: Provence numbers and names are used inconsistantly by the messaging log. On large maps, the names are duplicated and messaging does not (or rarely) use province numbers. searching for something by province number can be a hassle because the numbers array horizontally instead of closest.
My Solution; Name the Province and the Kingdom (i.e. Sleepy Hollow, Avalon)
Names can repeat in different kingdoms. Each Kingdom uses a different letter for the first character.
Limitations: Nation Overview can only display 16 characters (at least on OSx).
If the Province name and separator are kept at 15, the 16th character will always be the first letter of the kingdom. Other display locations can go to 35 characters.
Programming challenge: finding and grouping neighboring provinces into kingdoms. Remember #neighbors only list a connection once on the earliest ocurrence.
