From 563eac90ca20eddd6d359142af36e7387660dff5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: celestar <celestar@openttd.org>
Date: Sun, 13 Feb 2005 09:42:49 +0000
Subject: (svn r1866) -Fix: Intercepted generated maps with 0 towns on it.
 Currently just an error() is called, some more graceful handling should be
 implemented later.
