This make me think about a difference of technology. If a too strong enenmy unit
is near on of your city (even if the city is lost) you may take some of the
technology you don't have (because it gives new idea to people who see the unit)
which are needed to build the technology.

It comes to my mind because to allow unknown technology to broadcast around the
net, imagine a very large game which is can last very long time (you can resume
game and so on).

But anyway, it is useable to re-equilibrate force in freeciv like game. Another
point, if you stole an ennemy unit, you can get much more technology
advancement.
