Year 160.(3?), russian-polish agreement. Peace (Eternal Peace) treatement was subscribed in 1686 only. There were many similar examples in history. Also, please note that this countdown can be useful in scenarios. -- Thanks, evyscr ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev

The count down is an essential game function. And the penalty used to be important for reputation in the original games. Now, I'm uncertain about the penalty (reputation is gone?), but I'd still like to see a count.
