Thanks to all contributors who figured and made this patch! Langbart ultra op.

Tested over couple of games it definitely feel like reverting the 'a27 lags'. Similar feedback from @0 calories. No more climax 4-12 fps lags or camera/gui unresponsiveness .
Sharing the patch for those who'd like to try it. And get reasonable fps again...
To apply on linux, (if you built the game) put the patch in your game folder
lagpatch.patch
Apply the patch:
patch -p1 < lagpatch.patch
Recompile:
cd /build/workspaces/gcc
make -j3
Text about the wolf warriors.
Seems like it could be possible that some ferocious German warriors in ancient times would dress themselves in wolf skins. Especially as a way to "summon" the strength of mythological or religious wolf totem. I don't think that the wolf skin would be very effective as a suit of armor, though.
Maybe add them as very brutal, very aggressive melee glass cannon shock troops?
If you want to try a version as a mod for a27, you could unzip this and move it to your mods folder.
Its not quite as updated as the 'pull request' @Stan` shared, but it is enough to get a good feel for how the civ works.

I hope this makes the description of issue 2 clearer.
