Update of patch #3718 (project freeciv):
Summary: Use activity icon to hint that fortifying in cities
does nothing => Conflation of attention and defence effects in (F)ortify
keypress is annoying
_______________________________________________________
Follow-up Comment #4:
OK, I'm going to repurpose this ticket for an entirely new proposal:
* Users' keypresses to specify only the desired attention behaviour:
** (F) becomes "hold this (F)ixed position and don't wake up"
** (S)entry means "hold this position, wake up if someone comes near
* For either key, units automatically fortify if able, otherwise not.
Is there any reason it can't be this simple?
This solves the problem that people are already using (F) to avoid units in
cities waking up, and getting annoyed about units which can't get the defense
bonus.
I don't think there are any downsides to fortifying, so there's no reason not
to do so automatically.
Would probably want graphics tweaks to display these two orthogonal pieces of
information simultaneously.
