I agree with your thinking about it, because I have slow internet and a
slow computer, so, I can't move on the map fast enough to block all the
units that are attacking at the same time (strategy used by two
players<allied> to coquer a player)... 
But also, freeciv should have 'saves' on the internet, that can be
accessed by the players that created it. Because the game will slow down
a lot, games won't be done as were before... So, to continue them, make
an online folder with the saves of the games.
