You are right, but somehow I dislike the mere existence of such *immune*
tiles. The ground unit arises a ZOC, you cannot move through the ZOC, and
you cannot attack, not even with diplomats.

Can't we find another solution for those things?

What happens if you attack with a fighter? The ground units defends, right?
Oh my.

Also, with diplomacy, alliances and such, I can't attack my enemy because he
hides with a neutral player on the same tile. That's sick.
