[Freeciv-Dev] Re: The space race

[Per Inge Mathisen <per@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

An additional point: Currently the AI diplomacy is set up so that once a 
player leads the space race, all AI players will declare war on that 
player, even if they were allied. Going space is currently counted as a 
"betrayal" of an alliance. This could be a major disincentive.
It was made this way because it is an individual victory, while military 
victory with your ally would be a shared victory; but now shared allied 
victory is no longer an option.
I think we need to rethink what it means to win and lose in Freeciv, and I 
suspect that it means something quite different in single player and 
multiplayer games.
