With -a, fairland makes the capital sector an airfield to "mark the
continents [...] so that you can tell them from the islands". This is
pretty redundant since commit afc0ef94e "Make fairland record the
island number in the deity territory", v4.3.31. Drop it.
The map fairland prints is not affected. The continents are clearly
visible there.

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.B fairland
|
|
is a program which creates land and ore for Empire. It
|
|
should be run after
|
|
.I files
|
|
has been run and before
|
|
.I emp_server
|
|
has been started. This is a land generator for empire that creates a
|
|
specified number of continents, and spaces them evenly accross the
|
|
map. It tries to make all of them the same size, and makes sure that
|
|
they don't meet. It gives each start island exactly the same
|
|
distribution of resources and the same number of mountains. You can
|
|
get nearly any kind of map you want by choosing the right arguments.
