 in this case poles are not needed at all, we never play realy in this place
 if separatepoes = 1 and N-S non wrap, we need only a ocean tile at N and at S 
of map.

That is ok, a pole and wrap on can play a interesting place in a war, the pole 
is
2 tiles to forbide some one to make a city for alow naval unit to traverse it.
 or  more interesting the pole are composed by some  big island, artic tiles 
not alow naval
unit to traverse but i can imagine underwater unit traverse ice or special unit 
break ice.
a real pole are not all a continent, see the nort one of real Eart.
the a continus pole is too restrictif for naval units

*separatepoles = 0, non wrap
I thincs is the more nice, first make the land then freeze it at poles.
 one day we can freeze the ocean too.

*separatepoles = 0, simple wrap
The torus are not a real planet we can make pole anyware, after make lands we 
freez one or 2 cercles.
