Don't expect too much.

Is there a method to just get freeciv ro render some maps?
It is timeconsuming to start a game with a single player and 10
explorers just to see the map.

I would like to do

for i in 10 20 30 40 50; do  freeciv -generate --river=$i > map$i.gif ; done

How do you do it?

Ok, then I might be able to comprehend it.
