Great thanks for the info :-)
I've played civ2 years ago and only a little bit (because civ2
is not available for Amiga ;-) ) and I have no access to the manual.
So I had the "rules" done from my memory (and nobody complained
until now since I sent the patch to the ML ;-) ). I'll fix that of
course.

Not really. A "memory" problem ;-)
