Possible ideas

An evaluation function for units that compares splits them into three
categories

good defensive
good attacking
good other(other will be a very big category)

What the function does is compare whether the flags like F_IGTER for the
situation( if our city is under attack, should we build one more defensive
unit or a diplomat to bribe the attacking units) 

a) increase movement              b) increase attack like   F_IGWALL
