Forget some time my dark argues about stability.(i am my self very
suspicious about it)
Freeciv is a strategy games and a simulation one too. 
Is a  land bridges joining continents a good simulation concept. the
strategy to send a flow of ing to make a land bridge to get a another
continents with land unit instead to use a naval attack can be good
strategy in some case but is bas as a simulation game. i think this has
to be blocked. 

no real civilization can do it, make some weak canals or pont easy to
destroy (by the enemy) to connect oceans or land masses is best.
