In the world map, it would be handy when hovering over, or clicking on a city, to show information created by the owner of that city. It would be a quick and efficient way of communicating any information a player would be happy to share in regards to their city. 

Examples; A player could advice other players that they are fine with other players harvesting resources directly around their city. Or, it could serve to warn other players away from harvesting within Sov claimed tiles etc. Perhaps a player has a funny story about their city? It could be a bit of fun and add another layer of personalisation and creativeness to the game.

Cheers, LA.

You can already have offensive division names, city names and commander names.  Why would it be a problem to have an offensive city description too?

I like it.  The tool likely already exists to do so considering the new faction hub descriptions.  Would this be something the game bots would be able to moderate though.  Like offensive town names, offensive town descriptions might be something that would concern the devs.

This is a small detail, but I'd like to have the ability to write text descriptions for each town. I enjoy the content portion of this game, and I think it would be nice to give players the opportunity to create texts about their cities, and update them as Elgean history unfolds. I am not a game developer, though I cannot imagine that a feature like this would be hard to include in the future.
