One of the things I didn't like about Civ2 is that there were too many
things *not* under your control when designing a modpack or scenario.
In principle, this is not a problem with FreeCiv, though I don't know
how far you guys want to let the design drift from Civ2.  So I thought I
would try my hand at it and report any problems I find, so maybe we can
discuss what kind of changes would be desirable and what kind wouldn't.
