.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.
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
.TP
|
|

a previously created world. (by default the current time and process id of
|
|
the server are used as seed.) The seed used to generate a world is printed
|
|
along with the map.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI \-s " scriptout"
|
|
