Civ 2 behaviour is that warriors are obsoleted by phalanx, phalanx by pikemen.
Warriors are not obsoleted by pikemen. It doesn't matter what Civ 2 behaviour
is anyway. I have left(because of Per) the Civ 2 ruleset strictly alone.

The transitive function does make sense, and Reinier and I have already
discussed it. The only question, and this is a very important question, is
who's going to implement it? I'm too busy with the AI to bother with ruleset
stuff. No one else is even interested. If you want a transitive tech tree
parser, Christian, it's up to you.
