FWIW, one of my (unimplemented) ideas is a fish-factory ship: it "farms"
a 3x3 square, and sends the food output to its city (pretty much what
fish-factory ships do in real life, only that in Freeciv's case they
don't overfish). That way we could build even bigger cities.

These would cause lots of political trouble if farming a square that
belongs to a city, etcetera.


And I like the idea of offshore oil platforms, too.
