Map Key

• 🎯 Hexes that your units have seen, but never actually entered, are marked with a large yellow X.
• 🎯 Hexes that scouts have entered have a small S near the right edge.
• 🎯 The map coordinates (eg PQ 0213) are displayed in the lower left corner of each hex.
• 🎯 Rivers are displayed as a blue line along the hex edge. Canals are displayed as a slightly darker blue line.
• 🎯 Your units are displayed as a black figure on the upper right edge. Other players' units are displayed as a red figure on the upper left edge. If there's only a single unit in the hex, then the unit's number is displayed. Otherwise, "clan" is displayed above the unit and the list of units is attached as a note to the figure.
• 🎯 Settlements are displayed as a black town icon in the center of the hex. The name of the settlement is displayed along the bottom edge of the hex. NB: If the settlement name looks like "L 1234", then there's a typo in your report that you should fix.
• 🎯 The yellow or black pillboxes connecting hexes represent passes or fords. NB: if only half a pillbox is visible, this usually means that the neighboring hex hasn't been entered.
• 🎯 Ocean and lakes can be hard to tell apart. You can ask OttoMap to change the color of the ocean to make it easier to see.
• 🎯 Units with wagons can't enter Swamp or Jungle Hill hexes. The report shows "Cannot Move Wagons into Swamp/Jungle Hill," which doesn't show the true terrain type. OttoMap will show a large yellow "?" in the hex until one of your units reports on the true terrain type.
