Deprecated has it not do a hmap first, we has working to gen-terrains
for mapgen, i think to rm or remplace this generator when we find a good
way to get fair maps! until that this generator rimains in game. one of
my important todo is to create a good hmap generator to remplace islands
based one.

this code do some part of work searching as fair as posible to place
start pos for all maps. now you can get one player per isle in generator
1! (this stell need some tuning for fairnes, any way)

i can rm the Deprecated word if you like

i am corrected, at last partially, this in one patch, anyway this one
does nothing about poles. but in iso view 2 tiles poles is unavoidable
has the polar borders is in "zig-zag".

i get your comment in my head i will see it in tuning times.
