We could relax the one continent condition if the same player > owns the tiles on the far shore, I guess. I'm well aware that the code is following the rules for border placement we have. My point is that those rules are not good. In particular since we have gradually-expanding borders, I think rule B should be changed: instead of needing to be adjacent to a CONTINENT tile it should check for adjacency to any owned tile. something like b) over half of the adjacent tiles are also owned by you or b) it is adjacent to only one player's terrain and not more than two unclaimed ocean tiles This would likely also allow (a) to be dropped. -jason _______________________________________________ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
