_______________________________________________________
Details:
With the migration and mgr_foodneeded options both set on the server,
do_city_migration() prevents migration if the proposed destination city
currently has a food surplus of less than zero (i.e., it's already
starving).
However, that's not sufficient to be sure that the city will have enough food
for the incoming citizens. Often the new citizens will be able to feed
themselves from the land, but it's not guaranteed, for instance if only
barren terrain remains unworked.
The attached (contrived) save game shows a citizen migrating and then
immediately starving to death, even with mgr_foodneeded set.
Wouldn't it be better to test for a food surplus of 2 or more? In that case,
the citizen will definitely not starve, although the city may never grow
again.
I can trivially patch this, just wanted to check that I hadn't missed the
point first.
