Well, you of all people should realize that. We aren't going to run "The
Pirate Fleet vs. the Gloire"...

I'd like to see a few genericish 32x32 islands. I'd also like to see
some "scenario" islands. I hope to work one up. Of course if Chris still
has his island from last year, I've got the dinos to populate it. I also
want to have a skeleton island (and if someone wants to make it that
would be cool, I'll populate it).
