There is a point I'm missing in your proposal. How fast are buildings
and units available? Does having a global pool means that if it is
full enough they are available at the next turn? In the current
Freeciv, it is already possible for an isolated tiny village under
siege on a hostile continent to build one battleship each turn. But
this is really costly (ten times the standard cost of a battleship if
I'm not mistaken), as it should be. With your proposal it seems like
this would suddenly become cheap.
