Transport mode

Tour cost now respects terrain: routes bend around mountains, hug coasts and rivers, and (in Best mode) pick the cheapest transport per leg.

Speed (generations / sec)11 / s

Low = step slowly so you can watch crossings vanish; top = MAX (unlimited full speed).

Population size120

Changing this restarts evolution with a fresh population at the new size.
