[Freeciv-Dev] (PR#7141) wishlist: delayed city capture

["James Canete" <use_less@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'd like cities to be able to resist being captured, even after all
defenders in that city have been removed.

I never liked the fact that a large, empty city was so easy to take if
there wasn't anyone guarding it.  Don't those million or so people in
the city have any loyalty at all? :)

The time in between counts as an occupation, where the city loses one
population point per turn until it is captured.

Eventually I'd like units to have capture ratings, perhaps a Diplomat
can capture in one turn whereas an infantryman would take two.  Or
perhaps resistance would be attached to the size and age of a city.  And
also, perhaps instead of generating fanatics or partisan, the loss
of a population point counts as a single combat.

I tried implementing it quickly, but all the included patch does is
break things, and break things badly.  It compiles, and that's about it.
It needs a lot of work, and I am, as usual, still working on it.

By the way, yes, this is part of my evil, insidious plan to turn Freeciv
into a bad clone of Advance Wars. :)
