[Freeciv-Dev] Re: RFC (was curiosity)

[Adam Gregory <Adammgregory@xxxxxxxxx>]

	How about going for an object oriented approach for version 2? It 
might be easier to create custom units if a modular approach was used with 
their abilities, and multiple inheritence. Kind of like how units are 
designed in the workshop in AC, it'd be nice to be able to inherit a sea 
settler from a settler class and a ship class. That could make it easier 
for people to modify the code for their own branches of the the game, and 
would make the units less hardcoded into the game, which was a complaint 
that's been brought up recently, I think.
	Of course using an object oriented design would have many other 
implications, the units are just what springs to mind for me. Are there 
enough C++ hackers in the regular contributors to make it worthwhile? I 
know I'd like to help however I can. I'm new to freeciv-dev so please 
don't flame too hard if my ideas are stupid!
