city_map is reason enough althout I believe igter_move will be introduced 
too

limits not a problem.  just put
moves_expended = (move_cost > moves_left ? moves_left + move_cost
                                         : move_cost)
for the upper and
moves_expended = (move_cost > moves_left ? moves_left
                                         : move_cost)
for the lower.

it really screws up most of AI calculation and if we put FACTOR to be 1/2 
nobody would notice anyway.
