In regards to player initials on map:
(As partially discussed in discord)
I feel we should keep it slightly more anonymous and RP friendly.
For this a suggestion would be to use a tribe image, symbol or tribe initals. Not name initials. But an image, or tribe symbol/initials that are colour highlighted/coded by faction.
Then only see name within chat range in chat window. And perhaps be able to click on intials from main to take u to player description.
RPwise, this offers a more real feel, rather than spotting a Pi from 13 tiles away and knowing its Pirate. (Or those of us with more unfortunate initials.)
It feels like we should be able to make out a figure in the distant and tell if its a giant or a lightfoot, but not see it has a "Hello my name is:" badge on.
This also sheds another old tps paradigm for this style of game. As a small way to give Agonia more of its own identity.
It does feel key that we should colour code by faction though, in order to keep existing strategic integrity intact, while still offering RP conducive gameplay.

) you could just go back to what you were doing knowing someones there or pay a bit more attention , say click on the icon and get a bit more information, such as faction, basicly like staring for a while.
