I like the in game chat feature, but theres a lot of room for improvement.
Whenever someone sends a message using chat, theres no notification someone has sent a message. Ive talked to many players. They either dont know about the in game chat or they forgot it was there. My suggestion is give some sort of alert someone has sent a message in chat.
Another thing to consider is to show the players country and not the user name. When someone starts chatting in the in game chat, its hard for me to know who they are without going to the diplomacy tab and looking up who they are. Telling me their user name isnt very helpful, but knowing which country they are is all the information we need.
