Follow-up Comment #2, patch #3775 (project freeciv): Of course, with the new terrain features things get much more complicated for the AI. Think of a ruleset where tanks can not cross swamps (they drown), but are fast enough to find a path around and so still could keep pace with, say, a caravan.

extensive rework for the version it will finally be merged to. (The trouble I had upgrading to r22446 was nearly more than the time it took to write the code. (I'm working on a separate modpack.)) The change is downward compatible in that a missing parameter just works out as if 0 was given
