I have provisionally defined the mine tiles as fixed (i.e. grey) with a town
that has zero (i.e. variable) value.
(This definition is mainly for usage in XML, the real picture will be
different once we have better SVG tiles).
I can change that if you want, but my thinking was that this hex would not
really behave as an off-board one.
And I can replace the town by a city if you prefer that.

One potential problem is the ZKB mine tile, with has two stops: a
fixed-value village and a variable-value mine.
Can you handle that? See below.

In Map.xml or in TileSet.xml?
For the ZKB this should apply to only one of the two stops, so perhaps we
should add an extra 'city="1"' attribute.

1837 already starts, in that it displays all initial windows. I haven't
tried anything beyond that point. The only specific class is
StartRound_1835; otherwise, the 1830 rules apply.
