New Revision: 32661

URL: http://svn.gna.org/viewcvs/freeciv?rev=32661&view=rev
Log:
sandbox: let the Leader scorch the earth.

Allow the Leader unit to do the action "Destroy City" to domestic cities.

Permit scorched earth by making it possible to completely destroy cites. Use
costs and limitations to balance it's power.

Only a Leader unit can destroy a city. It has to be in or adjacent to the
target city. This will often increase the risk that he is killed.

It is impossible to destroy foreign cities. A city must be therefore
conquered before it can be destroyed.

See patch #7204

+; The GameLoss unit requirement makes sending units on a suicide mission to
+; capture and destroy cities deep inside enemy terrain national suicide.
+; The risk of moving a GameLoss unit to the target city increases the cost
