My idea was that we should make some of the values depend on flags.
E.g. transport_cap is only used with the "Ferryboat" Flag
(maybe we then should rename "Ferryboat" to something like "Transport")
I also wanted to do this for the "partisan problem" so that
for every unit which use the "Partisan" flag in the ruleset a new field
"partisan_req" must appears (That's why I decided not to implement
a Partisan tech flag ;-) )
