That's a good point which would improve the game on many points. 

Example is the moving of enemy units.
If an enemy unit moved through your visible range it vanishes. But i
think there should be something like a marker at the spot where the unit
was seen the last time (unit, % HP, number of round ago last seen.)

But the freeciv way is: Don't show to much to the user anything that
could be wrong. (Ok you don't see the changes of Land in fog of war
area)

Problem for freeciv is that the information for AI cities isn't changing
during the playerturn. (perhaps the workerallocation changes because of
enemy units over the tiles) But thats not correct for freeciv. Think of
AI-autoattack, other players who kill units in the city. And there
shouldn't be any difference between multiplayer and singleplayer games.
