But default/units.ruleset:
; "FieldUnit" = cause unhappiness even when not being aggressive
So Bombers cause unhappiness, even when inside a city ( = not agressive).

Think so.
OED says: PHRASES in the field 1 (of troops) engaged in combat or manoeuvres
2 engaged in practical work in the natural environment. ... - ORIGIN Old
English.
Maybe you can say, bombers in cities *count* as not being in the city and
aggressive as such?
The game reason they count as agressive is, AFAIR, that they are only useful
for strategic attack.
The german translation is inconsistent. It uses the term "Kampfverband",
which means combat unit.
So, FieldUnit is wrong and confusing. What about AirAttackUnit?
Instead, we can use the term 'field unit' for "military units away from
home".

Where is F_CIVILIAN? I can't find it in 2.1 or 2.2.
