From my memory of its likely usage, I think it would be better to tell CM
to redistribute N specialists of type S - in default's case N elvises.
Whenever we add a citizen, we add an elvis, then rearrange. Whenever a
unit bounches off a citizen from a tile, it becomes an elvis, then we
rearrange. And so on. The suggestion above is a bit heavyweight on the
preprocessing stage, IMHO.
