I was given this issue. I can only say that there is a chance that
this can be changed with the exploring agent. However in the current
code the server does the exploration. This means that the server would
have to tell the client that there is something to auto-explore or
not. This leaves out the third solution: a hack on the client side
which checks if there are any unknown tiles on the island.
