True, but keep in mind that freeciv is not based on realism,
its based on the Civ1 and Civ2 games.  When you get down to
it there are a _huge_ number of things in these games which 
are not realistic.  But still the games are fun.  We could 
try to improve some realism aspects, but then one has to worry 
about issues of game balance, and game complexity.

Personally I think there are heaps of better things to work on 
for freeciv (internationalisation, sound support, build queues, 
nations rulesets, better ai, alliances, fog-of-war, etc etc) 
before we consider changing the basic game (other than making
some things more general via rulesets).
