Tile grid

You might say: hexes or squares, map grid

How the map is cut into spaces where units stand and cities work land.

What it does

Sets movement, adjacency and distance, so it shapes combat and the spacing of cities.

Ask

How many neighbours does each space have, and is each neighbour the same distance away?

Typical

Squares and hexes; irregular regions; star lanes.

Trouble

A lane map with few links turns some systems into chokepoints that every fleet must cross, so a few spaces decide where wars are fought.

What to look for

1. Square, hexagon or region outlines on the map
2. Lanes drawn between star systems

Catalogue: Grid

• Squares: Square spaces that units and cities use on the map.
• Hexes: Hexagon-shaped tiles used for terrain and movement.
• Regions: Irregular geographical areas that divide a larger map into convenient subdivisions.
• Star lanes: Star systems joined by fixed routes; ships move only along the lanes, so chokepoints form.
