Not that I've ever used it, but there is Fundamentalism
in the 'civ2' ruleset.  See

  http://arch.freeciv.org/freeciv-dev-199907/msg00033.html

and further.  Issue '/set gov civ2' to try it out.

The original Freeciv developers omitted some Civ II features
on purpose; they considered them too powerful.  See

  http://arch.freeciv.org/freeciv-dev-199901/msg00131.html

for Greg Wooledge's explanation.  I think this is why the
default ruleset still doesn't include them.

Peace is not yet implemented.  Between human players, this isn't much
of a problem, except that republic and democracy become too powerful
because there is no Senate to overrule aggressive behaviour.

Find some human opponents and try diplomatic actions between
humans - it's fun and quite useful.  You can even trade cities.
But the AI doesn't understand diplomacy.
