I think it might be really cool to have a game with very expensive
settlers! (So that cities would be a resource in themselves)
It could (easily) be done in the ruleset now but something that I
think would make it a lot more enjoyable was if building cities
and infrastructure was not necessarily done by the same unit...
To make it possible to have a cheaper unit for building irrigation
and roads - something that would become _more_ important when You
are limited in Your number of cities...

Hmm... Since there are allready flags for Airbases (why is that
there?  to make it possible to have a game without Airbases?) and
Transformations simply adding a Infastructure flag and require this
for all 'normal' (not founding cities) settler activities...

What do You think?
