General Information

Within the navigation map there are a number of different coloured areas which correspond to the different terrain types.

Terrains can be distinguished by the color of the map square. In addition, each map square has a terrain label. This label can either be the name of the terrain (such as Jungle appearing on Jungle tiles), or a specific location (such as Dalpok appearing on the squares that are within the Dalpok town). Some have different descriptions which can further differentiate Terrain types, such as boatyards contained on squares that are labeled beaches (See Locations#Details for more information on these types of squares).

Different Terrain Types

• Tile Description - The description on the square
• Findable items - What items can be found on the square
• Movement Cost - How much it costs to move on the square AP wise (the number in the parenthesis is the cost when a player has the skill Trekking (or Swimming with water tiles))
• Special Squares - Unique types of certain terrain.

If one of these are missing it means that the category doesn't apply for that type of Terrain.
