This could be viewed as "the fun part" as seen from other persons
viewpoint. The hard part would be to figure out how much of the
internals a bot should be able to see or not, I seem to recall that was
one of the things the computer opponent in FreeCiv gets on "hard", it
automatically knows where your cities are, which of course helps it
become a much tougher opponent.

But good luck on the game in general, nice to hear about the effort to
reimplement the game once more.
