Follow-up Comment #3, patch #7137 (project freeciv):

New patch that keeps the text related to maglev.
I also changed the help text and readme to reflect that trade routes to enemy
cities are no longer possible.

>it's property of the merchant class, and we have support for class-range
helptexts in S2_6, so you may want to move that there.
I leave it for someone more confident to write in english.

Follow-up Comment #2, patch #7137 (project freeciv):

- Could you name patch-files so they have suffix ".patch"
- Maybe you should not remove documentation about maglev behavior from caravan
help as in:

 "), _("\
-Caravans can only travel on roads, railroads, rivers or ships.\
- (Caravans cannot take advantage of maglevs, but may travel on\
- the railroads that accompany them.)\
-"), _("\

Hmm... it's property of the merchant class, and we have support for
class-range helptexts in S2_6, so you may want to move that there.

Follow-up Comment #1, patch #7137 (project freeciv):

Same patch, but with ZOC enabled for Merchant class.

Now that non military units do not cause ZOC (since v2.6, thanks to flag
hasNoZOC), I think it is better if Caravans can not ignore the ZOC of military
units.

Details:

This patch restores the classic movement of Caravans and Freights (Merchant
class), so they no longer require roads or rivers to move. The only exception
is that they still can not use the Maglevs.

The main reason to create the special movement of Merchants, that has been
working in civ2civ3 until now, was to avoid the infinite movement of
railroads, in a time when the roads was not as moddable as now.
In current versions, I see no reason to keep this limitation that is not
intuitive for new players, nor easy for the creation of help texts.

This patch also disables the one-time revenue gained when a new trade route is
created, as well as the action "enter marketplace".
This one-time bonus is a known cause of exploits in multiplayer games, where
they use to divide the effect by a high number.
I suggest to disable it for good now that v2.6 allows it.
