This was probably the biggest mistake this game uncovered. I actually assumed AMaster to be smart enough to use the "homeworlds in a circle" method for non-wrapped maps. Turns out it doesn't.

The next program I'll integrate into this server will be PMaster, which does "homeworlds in a circle".

When talking of a non-wrapped map, "homeworlds in a circle" certainly is the best solution. IMO, when playing in a wrapped universe, placing the homeworlds in a circle makes it too easy to guess your neighbors homeworld. I'd stay with AMasters algorithm in that case, using a "HomeworldsRadius" of 300.

This is a testing version.
It may be incomplete, and have more bugs (or features) than the public live version at planetscentral.com.
