tool request (terrain math)

[lch]

Gandalf Parker said: I want to package up some of the wrapped maps from PH's map generator but I notice that it has no nostarts. Can I get something (basic, awk, sed, whatever) that will nostart any province with fewer than 4 neighbors?

There are dozens of scripts for this...

DireAussie has a web page which does this, Jack has that aswell and with source code available, too. There's a Python script in the Urrapand map which does this, although it would have to be changed a little so that the map file name becomes a parameter instead of being hard-coded. Finally, DrP has a done a perl script for this aswell.
