Yes. Different effects of the same type always add up, and the Upgrade_Unit effect upgrades a number of obsolete units equal to the sum of all active effects per turn (as you could have actually figured out yourself from README.effects).

You get multiple units upgraded for free every turn. This has been used in e.g. the multiplayer ruleset.

For big cities, opening the Cities screen (F4 in the gtk client) is probably more sensible anyhow. All I need is just a 'few' more columns. Like what? I can't really think of anything missing right now. Depending on whether you like multiple things in a single column, you can have between 24 and 34...

Yeah, but as you said, those are server settings, not part of the ruleset.

If by "change the ruleset" you mean "modify the ruleset while keeping the name the same", then yes. Note that you can actually switch the ruleset mid-game by manually editing the save file and then loading the edited version, but unless the rulesets are sufficiently compatible, t...

For big cities, opening the Cities screen (F4 in the gtk client) is probably more sensible anyhow. Apart from that, I believe it's not that difficult to tell the different specialists apart: the scientists are wearing lab coats, the entertainers have one hand raised, and anyone who's neither of them...

Ah, well, I don't even have a 2.5 client installed anymore, so I didn't think to check. Still though, I believe LT will be switching over to 2.6 for their next experimental game (right?), and this sounds like more of an experimental change.

You'll want to look at the Incite_Cost_Pct and Unit_Bribe_Cost_Pct effects. I believe the Incite_Cost_Pct is even used in supplied rulesets for the Courthouse building.
