No, we only have it for continents now. We also need it for oceans, but
nobody has had the time to implement it yet.

Finding the right algorithms is not what we need help with. We need help
implementing them in the freeciv codebase, that is, writing patches, since
this takes the most time and time is what we are short on.


 

I understand, but what happens if, for example, a city is next to 2 oceans? It 
can even be next to 3 oceans! What kind of testing would be useful to do in 
these cases?  From what you say I see that the continent-number-assignement 
algorythm is in mapgen.h.    The problem is, like I told you before, the cvs 
version available for download has this thing with the civserver.exe file which 
has more than 5 MB and I can't play the game(so I can't see if the ocean thingy 
would work). You could release the 1.15 version(stable) first and afterwards 
add the needed stuff for oceans etc.  And time, I believe, nobody has enough... 
:)  (me too)
