:-). I will ask my US-southern-resident in-laws what they think.

I looked at a random map, and I would be surprised if there are many 2x2 land tiles groups with the same type, other than in mountain ranges. Would we be better off teaching the map generator to generate larger uniform regions? Meanwhile, the release show stopper list is nearly empty. I have a bunch of "stupid AI tricks" to investigate, but only intend to fix them immediately where simple. The only real blocker left is production display breakage which I am leaving until last. However, if you happen to have a free moment:-), I am baffled by the graphics issue in BR#2580, which would be nice to have fixed. Cheers, Mike Pope
