IIRC Civ2 gave a popup warning every time you tried to attack with
'tired' units. I suppose that's a sign of this being inherently bad game
design.

On the other hand I'm kind of sad seeing support for 'tired' units
dropped completely. Just like removing "cross settling"; it made a lot
of sense from a game design perspective, but effectively split the
Freeciv community in two. 

Would it be very difficult to leave a backwards compatibility server
option for a few versions..?
