World generation now aims at a fixed share of the ice-free tiles (60%) instead of a minimum continent count, bisecting the water level for it rather than sweeping every step, and still joins the ocean into one body. Ice and tundra are the outermost rows only, scaled down on small maps so the fixtures keep usable land.
Cities score their site, coastal plains best and landlocked worst, avoiding tundra and desert. Every nation that holds a coast gets a port city on each island it owns, and any landmass left empty is settled by the nearest nation, so no land starts unowned. A coastal city opens with a port already built.
Bundles the in-progress work in the tree: the commodity monthly price series and inflation the central bank's chart reads, and the rolling city-to-city migration graph the population map draws as flow arrows.
