An early flying unit would have loads of uses. Blocking passage for enemies, letting your own units past enemy zone of control and scouting enemy islands. Even if it were programed like a helicopter, that it could be attacked by land and sea units, there is still too many stragetic ways of using such a unit; grabbing defensible terrain, collecting huts from islands (in hut games), searching for enemy capital, etc. Also, another advantage with flying units is that inland cities could build them while coastal cities pump out frigs. So I agree with whoever said 0 attack and 1 defence. I would say a prod. cost of at least 50 for any flying unit. - Jian ----Original Message Follows---- From: nicholas.g.lawrence-q/[email protected] To: freeciv-0/[email protected] Subject: [Freeciv] Re: Dirigible Date: Wed, 30 Jun 2004 10:29:23 +1000 >>nick >>What do people think of the Dirigible as a military unit? >>Eddie >Don't know.

The help file does list what new technologies any one technology allows, but does not list what technologies any one technology is directly dependant upon. Also, this thread appears to be discussed by Jim C. Nasby andThomas Strub, but I am missing a section.
