Civ1 (actually playing the game and seeing what happens) seems to 
follow Andrew's additive interpretation though.  That is, for a 
city with raw shields P, and Q = P/2
  Factory => production is P + Q  (1.5P)
  Factory + Mfg Plant => P + 2*Q  (2P)
  Factory + Power Plant or equivalent => P + 2*Q  (2P)
  Factory + Mfg Plant + Power => P + 3*Q  (2.5P)
(with some rounding anomalies if P is odd...)

Can anyone check Civ2?

But I'm not sure if we should change this now, if just change
the docs and change the rules in a future version.
