Notes:

• The above is a territory map, not a map of jungle density (which constantly changes). Therefore, the jungle and village squares will very likely be colored differently in-game than they are here. Squares within the village will be displayed as "Raktam" on the game map, while jungle squares will be displayed as "Jungle".
• The numbers on the map are merely for local reference and are not related to GPS coordinates at all.
