+* make bot spawn better DONE 8/28/2024
+* make UX for attacking TerraNullius by boat better
+* make bots more likely to attack weaker players
+* make bot territory less funky (more likely attack neighbors with larger border)
+    - maybe use bounding box, bots want to be circular?
+* PERF: use hierarchical a* search for boats
+* precompute spawns
+* end game when no players left (or after 1 hour or so?)
+* boats can go around the world
+* Add terrain elevation to map
+* use better favicon
 * REFACTOR: give terranullius an ID, game.player() returns terranullius
 * REFACTOR: ocean is considered TerraNullius ?
 * REFACTOR: remove player config?
