FAIRLAND(6) FreeBSD Games Manual FAIRLAND(6)

fairland - Empire land generator

fairland [option]... nc sc [ni [is [sp [pm [di [id]]]]]]

fairland is a program which creates land for Empire. It should be run after files has been run and before emp_server has been started. It creates a specified number of start islands ("continents"), and spaces them evenly accross the map. It makes 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. Different arguments produce quite different kinds of maps.
