Tile Colors

The colors of a map tile may give information about that region's temperature, alignment, or other handy things. Cyan or blue means the area is "good" aligned. Purple and grey/red areas have "evil" alignment. Light grey, brown, and yellow areas usually are dry and have sparse vegetation. Green tiles have vegetation and are usually moist. White tiles indicate snow.

Legend

Tiles are listed in order of alignment, with good aligned tiles first, then regular tiles, and lastly evil tiles.
