While this idea may not be realistic it is the natural way to fight
the mechanics (exponential growth). So all how have said that ICS is
bad please test this patch.

So while I like the idea I have some problems with the patch. The
naming is bad IMHO (struct player_city, GAME_DEFAULT_FREE_AU_CITIES
for example). Also I think that build should be built. And the usual
style issues.
