[Freeciv-Dev] Patch: bye bye free city center

["Mike Jing" <miky40@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

With this patch, you have the option in game.ruleset to require a real 
worker to be assigned to the city center, i.e. city center is no longer 
worked for free.  This way, a city of size 1 can only use 1 tile (city 
center) instead of 2, and so on.  This is meant as a way to discourage the 
use of ICS strategy and encourage city development.  There is also a related 
option to give city center extra food in order to allow normal city growth 
(it may look a little weird, but not any weirder than city center not 
requring a worker).  This may not be the end of smallpox, because the city 
center still gets free road and irrigation, but it certainly makes it much 
less attractive as a real strategy.
I know that I probably should add a new capability string, but I haven't 
figured out how to do that yet.  ;-)  The AI seems to have no problem with 
this change, but of course more tests are needed.  I am almost certain that 
there are other pieces of code that are affected by this change.  Bug 
reports and criticism are greatly apprciated.
Mike
