Freeciv does also. Freeciv uses spec_gate, and terr_gate, in the buildings
ruleset(Offshore platform). This permits the building of Offshore platforms
only when sea terrain is in the city radius.

It would be trivial to extend this to cover units.ruleset. Assuming the AC
gen-impr patch ever makes it to CVS, and I finally get my Civ 3 CD, I will
probaby do it.

but their minds are shrinking as they close their eyes and pray.
They call their bullshit science like the word could give them cred,
if them bitches be scientists then cap me in the head.
