It's *very* noticeable.  In Civ2, you can put two Engineers, a defender
and a bunch of attackers on a Transport, unload them next to a city
and have the Engineers build a Fortress before the owner of the city
can react.  In Freeciv, this isn't possible.

But the question is: which way do we *want* it to act?
