I'd like to echo this. It took me way too much time to (almost) figure out
what was going on with the vision thing in terms of the player_tile
struct. It'd be nice if someone knowlegdeable wrote a nice extensive
comment about how these variables change with regards to units, alliances,
etc.

I can't really start to work on alliances in civworld without this kind of
explanation.
