ALIAS <id> [string]
-----------------------
The ALIAS command can be used in the faction-part of an
order, all later occurences of <string> are substituted by <id>.
ALIASes are persistent, that is once set they remain for all
further orders. A list of aliases currently in effect for a faction is
given at the start of each turn report.
To remove an alias, give an alias for that id without string.
For example:
alias 11 WORKER
would allow you to give the order
train WORKER
if you later gave the order
alias 11
the alias would be removed again.
---------------------------------------------------------
How about it? IMHO it would enhance the readability of
orders and reduce the danger of id-typos messing up orders.
Should not change balance at all.
Btw. an alias command with similar functionality exists in most
MUDs, thats where the idea is from.
