That's right, yes. First we need agreement on the actual positioning of
the borders, which as you can probably tell from the surrounding
discussion, is not finalised yet. In SMAC, moving military units into
territory controlled by another nation tends to get them a bit annoyed;
building a city within that territory is generally considered an act of
war. We haven't implemented this yet (I'm not sure exactly what the
state of diplomacy is in Freeciv at the moment) but the latter should be
relatively straightforward. What other kinds of "military operations"
were you thinking of?
