[Freeciv] Re: New rules for little towns? Modify settlers?

There's a game for Winblowz called Alpha Centauri that is like that (I don't
know if anyone knows this.) There's a "Colony Pod" and a "Formers" unit.
Makes much more sense especially since the city's population goes down when
you build a settler thing and if you're just going to irrigate and stuff
it's kind of useless.
