Map

The map is made up of hexagonal tiles. Every tile will have a specific terrain type that depends on its native Biome. Tiles can change their terrain type over the years through either natural phenomena or empire design. Tiles that are adjacent to Coastal or Ocean tiles receive a +1 bonus to their Food output.

A group of tiles contained together inside a closed border constitutes a territory. The edges of a territory are displayed with a line of dashes on the map. Each territory can only have one city or camp.
