Very nice!

I found a bug:
[advance_carpentry]
name     = _("Carpentry")
              ~~~~~~~~
req1     = "Woodworking"
req2     = "Tools"
flags    = ""

[advance_brickmaking]
name     = _("Brickmaking")
req1     = "Fire"
req2     = "Stoneworking"
flags    = ""

[advance_construction]
name     = _("Carpentry")
              ~~~~~~~~
req1     = "Carpentry"
req2     = "Brickmaking"
flags    = ""

And:
[advance_glassworking]
name     = _("Glassworking")
req1     = "Coalmining" <=== Mining?
req2     = "Tools"
flags    = ""

Also:


[advance_mining]
name     = _("Mining")
req1     = "Food Preservation"
req2     = "Torches"
flags    = ""

Why is Food Preservation a requirement to Mining?

[advance_coal]
name     = _("Coal")
req1     = "Mining"
req2     = "None"
flags    = ""

Since when has Mining been used to get Coal? The earlier method was to
get Coal from wood (charcoal).

[advance_physics]
name     = _("Physics")
req1     = "Natural Philosophy"
req2     = "Optics"
flags    = ""

There is no Optics, yet. Also Physics (Mechanics) was earlier known
than Optics (with lenses).

So I propose
[advance_roadbuilding]
name     = _("Road-building")
req1     = "Mapmaking" <== you need to know where you want to get to
req2     = "Masonry"   <== some knowledge on how to lay the fundaments 
flags    = ""              would be usefull


I've set a follow-up to freeciv-data.

Cheers,
        Gerhard
