Re: [Freeciv-Dev] new feature

Well. There is one more problem. Minefields will be stored in the
tiles structure -> cheating is very simple, because the client can
patched !!!

So here are some solutions:

1) hey! we are all heros, we do not cheat
2) everyone sees all minefields
3) no-one sees them
4) you query for each tile if there is a minefield (much network
   traffic)
5) map for each player server-side (then we could implement much more
   neat features [real fog of war]) 
6) ??? suggestions ??? (I am quite sure, I missed the best things)

Depends weather they are visible or not.

2 turns are a bit too fast...

Well, why not implement in parallel? I am quite sure, minefields will
take some time (gfxs, some GUI-work, helptexts and lots of other minor
problems ;-)
