[Freeciv-Dev] Diplomacy....

[Kris Bubendorfer <kris@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

OK, here is something I think is very interesting....

It is built on top of my `civil war' patch, which David will hopefully apply 
to freeciv sometime soon.  I'll repost the civil war patch if anyone can't 
wait and wants to try out the new functions ;)

Essentially, it is an extension of the diplomacy/treaty section, where you may 
now also TRADE CITIES.

You cannot trade your capital, but any other city is fair game.  Cities that 
the other player does not know about, may still be gifted, but obviously they 
cannot request these cities as they've got no idea they exist.  So you still 
have secrecy/fog of war.

If the recipient of a city does not have the part of the map with the city 
being traded, then that part of the map is lightened.  You do NOT need to 
trade maps first - of course you could....

All units in the field that are supported by the city being traded are 
also transferred over, but any that are supported, but resident in other 
cities are not traded.  None-the-less, you should be careful not to give the 
other person a better deal that you expect.

Changes are quite extensive, including a new part on diplomacy in general in 
the Help in the `How to play' section.
