Ticket details:
This allowed an exploit where one could "stash shields" (e.g., in a Battleship), then change to a cheap legal unit followed in the queue by a unit you can't build.
This made it possible to make Helicopters, Howitzers, and Stealth Bombers well before the tech was available!
Blamed: city_build_unit()... does check for current prod but not later worklist units.
Needs an if such as
/* Multislot units also need to be checked for build legality, * otherwise you can make Howitzers in the feudal age! */ if (can_city_build_unit_direct(pcity, utype)) { punit = city_create_unit(pcity, utype); } else punit = NULL;
