I just discovered gunpowder, and now I have the ability to build a coastal defense in my cities. Isn't this not supposed to become available until metallurgy? I haven't yet discovered metallurgy, and I can't build cannons, so it just seems to be the coastal defense that's out of place.

Hi Archimedes,

Coastal defense requires the technology gunpowder in Freeciv. That's the defaut rules of Freeciv. So this isn't really a bug in Freeciv-web. yay!

See the ruleset here: https://github.com/freeciv/freeciv-web/ ... gs.ruleset and search for coastal defense.

I agree that there isn't much of a logical similarity between gunpowder and a coastal defense in cities, though.

Oh, okay. Then the bug is in the Freeciv-web manual Both the manual entry for coastal defense and the entry for metallurgy say coastal defense comes from metallurgy.

Speaking of the manual, I just found a typo. On the Controls page of the Freeciv-web manual, 'Irrigation' is misspelled.

I have fixed these mistakes in the manual now. Thanks for pointing them out!
