Yeah .. an Empire Deluxe Version of freeciv :-)

No units with "f_cities" (only workers)
Or very expensive settlers ...

Nondestroyable cities? Perhaps size 0 with no production, trade, only
food. All cityimprovements would be destroyed, same for supported units.
Only there would be a "new" city at the place the old was 3-10 rounds
later. (until the foodbox has size 10)
