This patch does some revision on the helpdata.txt file. I've
standardized the capitalization of many words (Wonder->wonder,
factory->Factory, etc.), removed trailing white space, cleaned up some
minor grammar/phrasing problems, and added a couple comments based on
my new Civ2 experience[1]. More importantly, I've standardized some
terminology:
* I've used the terms "food production", "shield production",
"science production", "tax production" and "luxury production" to
refer to the output of cities.
* I've used the terms "food resource", "shield resource" and "trade
resource" to refer to what's harvested from squares around a city.
* I've used the term "shields" to refer to shield resources, rather
than the more ambiguous "production"; I've also used "shields" (or
kept the phrase "production shields") in the government help to
indicate unit upkeep costs.
The only change I didn't make in terms of standardization is to
reconcile the American and British spellings of certain words
(particularly "defense"/"defence"). The "Coastal Defense" stanza is a
rather glaring example of the need for this, but I didn't want to try
to make that call....
I've reduced context to 1 line on this patch, and gzipped it, because
it's a big patch relative to the helpdata.txt file -- I've touched a
great number of lines, although in most cases the extent of the changes
is rather small.
[1]I picked up a copy for Christmas and so far I've won 1 game on
Prince level. Freeciv prepared me quite well for everything except
Fundamentalism and Paratroopers, which are *evil*. :-)
