Ok, currently my questions are....

1) is doc/README.effects up to date?

2) can the server handle a tile Resources of Silk, or Coal, or Gold,
   or Iron etc.  It would be useful to be able to specify these.

3) for "Trade_Revenue_Bonus" the documentation states...
   Trade revenue is multiplied by pow(2, amount/1000)

   Im not a mathematician, i don't understand this, could someone
   please explain either how to calc this in perl, or give some
   rough rules of thumb for doubling and halving Trade Revenue.

4) in effects.ruleset, does the order of entries inside "reqs =" matter?

5) is there a limit to the number of effects the server will
   allow/handle.

6) do these effects work...

"Food_Bonus"    - city's production is increased by AMOUNT percent
"Prod_Bonus"
"Trade_Bonus"
"Tax_Bonus"
"Luxury_Bonus"
"Science_Bonus"

"Food_Bonus_2"  - production is increased by AMOUNT percent.  This is
"Prod_Bonus_2"    applied after the first bonus so it's multiplicative
"Trade_Bonus_2"   with it.
"Tax_Bonus_2"
"Luxury_Bonus_2"
"Science_Bonus_2"

7) could an effect requirement be
  Terrain, Mountain, City

  could a building requirement be (as well as a tech)
    Terrain, Mountain, City

8) can an effect like 'Pollu_Prod_Pct' have range "World".
   meaning it has a worldwide effect? affecting all players?

That'll do for now
