Okay, I sent a pull request your way to fix the default thing for the
interactive version. I set the default to 0, and then changed
changes.json to manually set the rank to 1. Annoying, but it works,
and it describes what's actually happening too.

The capitalization one is harder. If you wanted, you could fix it in
generate.py by capitalizing (call .title() or whatever, although
there's a weird problem with apostrophes that could be really annoying
someday) each field, field title, and default. You'd have to make an
exception for owner, because some people like having their names lower
case (learned that the hard way on my first Promotor report). The
problem with that approach is that it makes the code messy (special
case handling everywhere, even more tightly bound, etc.).
Alternatively, you could fix it in changes.json, by capitalizing
everything and setting the display override on the things you aren't
setting at the moment (owner and type) to a capitalized version. It's
cleaner from a code perspective, but you have to remember to
capitalize everything.  I've mostly coded both solutions up and can
submit whichever you prefer as a PR.

Thanks for writing up such an interesting economy, it's going to be fun to play!

It's cool, I just wanted you to know. I'll have a look at your code and see
if anything occurs to me (it probably won't, I'm not an awe inspiring

This is because after I've generated the entire map, I fill in all the 
flags that aren't set with their default values. The default value for 
the rank is 1. I did this because there's not a clause that says "flag B 
exists only if flag A exists." I want there to be a system for 
dependency, I just haven't implemented it yet.

Okay. Changes are written in JSON format. JSON has true, false, and 
null. Python has True, False, and None. When Python turns the JSON into 
Python objects, it changes them. But to put them into the HTML file, it 
turns the capitalized constants into strings.


My focus for this code was being able to put all the changes in a single 
JSON file and not have to deal with changing the python at all. The 
reason these issues exist are because I was trying to allow the code to 
be flexible, but it just isn't yet. I honestly didn't think anyone would 
care because no one posted any complaints when I uploaded the prototype 
to Agora Discussion. But apparently people just weren't paying attention.


I'll see what I can do to fix these, but just know that since the HTML 
is not required by the ruleset, it's very low on my life priority list 
at the moment.

Oh, and also, your capitalization is confusing. "None" is capitalized, but
the each facility type isn't. I'd suggest just capitalizing everything,
possibly including the land type flags (so B, W, A, instead of b, w, and a).
