[Freeciv-Dev] Re: WAITER! There's a BARB LEADER in my TRIREME !!! (PR#881)

I think it would be a cool way to stop barbarians. Subvert the barbarian
leader and all the barbarians that came in that attack run away and
disband. If you subvert one in a city, and those barbarians stole a few
cities, they should all return to your control.

Just an idea, but my feelings are that barbarains are FREAKEN annoying =).
