You could experiment with rulesets and/or server settings to break the
power of ICS.  Changing rulesets on civserver.freeciv.org is dangerous
though because you'll be working 'in the dark', and yu can't supply
your own at all.  This is what a 'rulesets as server commands' patch
would provide (in a primitive way).  I hope to have time between Xmas
and New Year.
