#310 Issues with maps for base game and 5-6 player expansion
Hi, I recently tried out pioneers with my family after we had much frustration with bugs and disconnections in the colonist.io player
One thing we noticed is that our randomized instance of the default map had two adjacent '8' tiles, which is not supposed to be possible. I investigated and found that default.game does not follow the spiral method described in the rules, but rather lays the chits out left-to-right. The spiral method and chit ordering used by the rules is supposed to avoid this (and possibly, it also maintains balance in more subtle ways). I fixed the chit ordering for the default and 5-6 player games, and while doing the 5-6 player map, I noticed there were a couple more discrepancies with the official rules specific to that map:
- The harbor locations doesn't match what's in the rules
- The number of different resource tiles doesn't match (should be 5 brick 5 ore and 6 of the rest)
The attached patch fixes all the issues described above in default.game and 5-6-player.game

Sorry for the delay. I've confirmed the ordering of the chits. The patch is applied in svn r2329. It will be part of the upcoming release of Pioneers 15.7
