I requested animation graphics from the civfanatics civ3 forum, got
'bout 60 views and no replies. The guy who made custom gfx for their
latest "Game of the Month"'s declined to contribute because of
anticipated time consumption. In another thread, that crowd seem to
think that Freeciv sucks, particularly because of lacking AI
diplomacy. They probably favor Win32 and single-player style games.
We should accomodate such people by creating a real smallpox
solution, native win32 client, and adding code to support animation.
