Re: Important changes in the Xconq API
Here is another doc patch that reflects Hans' recent changes, plus removes a
redundancy from the game design manual.
The patch does the following to doc/refman.texi:
* Removes a duplicate entry of the UnitProperty, size, in the section on
advanced unit types.
* Makes some new notes regarding the unit-size-in-terrain table.
* Remarks that the capacity-negation table has been pulled from GDL.
Patch below:
