My generated map has start spots that are cut off or much poorer than others

A random map can look fine and still trap a player behind a wall or leave them with half the resources. This entry gives your AI a map check that walks outward from every start and tells you if they connect and how close the riches are.

Why this works

Fairness is about reach, not distance on a ruler: walls make a close resource far. Counting what each start can reach within the same number of steps puts everyone on one scale.

When not to use it

Skip it for maps that are meant to be uneven, such as a scenario with a weak side. Then compare against the intended ratio rather than aiming for equal.
