What I meant to add is, doesn't that imply that it's possible to do, eg.

  set units civ1

*without* the other two, then wait patiently for 10 players to join,
start the game, have it blow up in your face, lose some of the players,
and not even remember why?

The syntax could be like this:

  set units, techs, buildings civ1

or

  set ruleset civ1

or even

  begin ruleset
  units civ1
  techs civ1
  buildings civ1
  end ruleset
