[Freeciv-Dev] barbarian AI

[Falk Hueffner <falk.hueffner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I have resumed working on the barbarian stuff, and I do now wonder how 
to handle the barbarian leader.

Its behaviour should be: move towards/onto any friendly unit; if
there's none, flee.

The first part is relatively simple, although a problem is that the
barbarian leader might move first onto a Legion, which then moves away 
in the same turn leaving the leader undefended. Because of the weird
list code, I don't know how to move it to the end of the list.

Another problem is fleeing. I thought the AI would likely have a
notion of the "secureness" of the tiles to move vulnerable units
around, but there doesn't seem to be such a thing. Anybody knows a
good fleeing algorithm? I'm sure I can reuse some code, I just can't
find it...
