You are right. Of course. I like the game as it is now. 

But then, now that we've reached civ2, nearly, we can invent new rules,
can't we? Maybe Freeciv can grow to 10 games!? We just have to care that the
new games have a clear personality, characteristics. The rule diversication
in the current rulesets is rather small, and unmotivated (except civ1/2).
