[crossfire] Buildable Land Plots

[Mitch Obrian]

On my server I'd like all worldmaps to be buildable.
It would be good to have a setting atleast to allow
the server admin to allow building everywhere.

Look at the text muds. They allow building everywhere.
Also we don't have kings, perhapse players themselves
will become the rulers as in text muds. Less
restrictions (or rather, the ability to place less
restrictions) is a good thing for enjoyment of the
game.
