Yes, that would allow game-mechanics to remain unchanged while allowing you to
give orders even with 0 movepoints left. But I think the whole fortification
should be changed so that it doesn't work untill after fortitying one turn, as
it also is in civ 2 (and as would be better for game-balance)(as in the text
you qouted from me). I will make a patch tomorrow.
