[Freeciv-Dev] (PR#3665) [PATCH] Thanks for the really addictive game, guys!

["sam+civ@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" <sam+civ@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I just want to thank everyone for making a really addictive 100%
free game.  To be honest, while I miss the diplomacy in 1.14.0 (which
I see you guys working very hard on), I don't miss the barbarians.

Anyway, here is a revised version of the patch.  This version only gives 
the human a strong tech advantage at the "easy" level.  

Out of curiosity, any reason why there are only three and not seven
difficulty levels?
