603   { "occupychance", &game.occupychance, NULL, NULL,
606     N_("Chance of moving into tile after attack"),

Is this what you mean? I don't see how this has anything to do with
defenderless cities. If it is a problem that is has % chances, just change
it to a bool. You like bools, don't you? ;) None will miss that excess
functionality.
