This one may have been a tweak on my rules.txt. Something about upgrading
Fundies to Partisans... Anyway, if you buy them at say 10$ apiece then
disband them for a bit more than that at your cities building Howitzers...
it gives you some advantage.

NOW, that gives me another thought: If you have the money, a half dozen
small cities can rush-buy many more things than, say, three full-sized
top-powered cities which can only build each a single thing each turn. But,
if a city with 60+ production could build any number (or more than one, at
the very least) of things in a turn, THEN some well developed empires would
be able to withstand the more straightforward massive attacks.


>aren't that crappy... they're fully equivalent to Riflemen on defense,

Hehehe, defense values will never frighten me... On the other hand, some
400+ of those buggers messing all over my empire could be scary...


>Heh... that's all too true.  The Civ2 AI isn't a great player. :-)

Wich reminds me of another thread... there seemed to be no clear consensus
on how good was Freeciv's AI. Comparisons?
