[Freeciv-Dev] Pillaging Bombers

[Chris Feddern <feddern@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I have a suggestion regarding bombers:

I thought it would be a good idea if bombers had the ability to bomb the
terrain, e.g. to destroy railroads and cut the enemy's supply lines or
destroy undefended fortresses/airbases, farmland, etc. behind the front
lines. It would also be quite realistic, I think, and add even more
strategic flavor to the game.

I decided to implement this using the "pillage" command. I added a new
flag (I called it F_BOMBER), but as far as I can tell, older clients still
work with a patched server, although the player naturally can't make use
of pillaging bombers.

I attached a patch for freeciv-1.11.4.

Cheers,

-Chris
