For fairness, fairland aims to make islands of the same size consist
of the exact same sectors, just individually arranged.
It fails to achieve its aim for mountains: their elevation is random,
34 or 35 for coastal mountains, and between 98 and 254 (two dice) for
non-coastal ones. Elevation determines resources. Mountains get 89
gold on average (between 80 and 93), except for coastal mountains,
which get none. It didn't really matter until Empire 3 made mountains
produce gold dust. Since then, it's unfair.
Set mountain elevation to 98 + i * delta, where i is the mountain
number (starting at zero), delta is (127 - 98) / max_mn, and max_mn is
the maximum number of mountains an island could have. This puts the
highest mountains on the largest islands.
Non-coastal mountains have slightly less gold than before, coastal
mountains have much more.
Mountains can still be unfair, because fairland can screw up their
number. To be fixed soon.
Avoid elevations 34 and 35 for non-mountain, non-capital sectors
doesn't make sense anymore. The next commit will get rid of it.
