This is definitely possible with the current freeciv engine, because Aviation ruleset already has it :) However before 3.0 it was difficult to make it work well because of the lack of actionenablers (needed to prevent paratroopers from doing things like attacking without getting out of the plane fir...

3. As a more realistic MAD, maybe players just put rockets on bases and the strikes are all scripted? I've been experimenting with something a bit like this in Aviation, where if a city gets nuked the city contains the building 'QRA Hut' the city contains least one bomber with a nuclear bomb unit l...

That sounds like a lot of work, but we could get at least some of the value of strategic resources without implementing the connectivity side of it; just have a requirement that tests whether the resource is on any workable (or perhaps worked?) tile within the City, Continent, Player or Alliance ran...

I would like a unittype bonus that does the same to attacker's FirePower as LowFirepower (previously FirePower1) does to the defender. The other bonuses (Defense{Multiplier,Divider}[Pct]) are (somewhat) symmetric between attacker and defender, but not this one. My use-case for this: in Aviation, mos...

Currently, a unit being bombarded can be damaged all the way to 1HP. I would like an effect to raise that limit, probably to a percentage of the unit-type's max HP. For instance, a ruleset could have a city improvement "Concrete Bunker" that made it so that bombarding units couldn't reduce...

In my ruleset, I have a NoUpgrade flag that controls the Upgrade action, so that some units can be obsoleted (to declutter the build list) without being able to be upgraded (which e.g. in some cases bypasses an impr_req on the new unit). [actionenabler_upgrade_unit] action = "Upgrade Unit"...

That's what you get with the server setting trade_revenue_style value CLASSIC. The formula for the trade a city receives from a traderoute. Is that one-time revenue, though, or ongoing trade? Or does it control both? The relevant section of "Math of Freeciv" on the wiki appears not to hav...

The one-time revenue from Establish Trade Route or Enter Marketplace depends on the trade of the source (and destination) cities. But this trade depends on worker placement at the time the action is performed, meaning the player can make temporary changes to boost (or minimise) revenue, then change ...

Your first part reminds me of Civ III's "armies" mechanic, where (iirc) if you had a Great Leader, you could stack several units into an Army which moved and fought as a single unit (and obtained some benefits as a result, though I forget exactly what). As for the "more realistic"...
