This is to much specific for the high level gaming of Freeciv. I think it
cannot be added as a unit by itself, but instead as a unit model. (See

None of them are technologies. Both are instinctive behaviors.
Most animals know how to hunt. Communication exists in the hominid branch from
nearly the beggining. Also there are animals, like cetaceans, who have a very
complex communication system. (If by communication we understand a complex
comm. system, because many animal species can communicate between them)

mmmm....
That is easy to implement, but this way the game would be eternal. Also think
about managing hundreds of cities!. (Well it can be solved in part, see
http://arch.freeciv.org/freeciv-dev-200102/msg00401.html, he he he!)
May be we can reach the End of the Eternity.
