What I mean by this is that this should be explicitly spelled out, along with 
the whys and hows, either in the FAQ, or in an easy to find spot on the site.

I'd be especially interested in knowing what the capacities of the "rule" 
files are; can you achieve Civ2-like Scenarios with events that happen if a 
city is captured, on a particular turn, etc.?

Hey, another FAQ might be "How different is FreeCiv from Civ2? Alpha 
Centauri?" etc.

Thanks
