-'''Tiles''' are the squares that form a map. They are ''approximately'' two meters long, two meters wide, and three meters high.<sup>[http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=140544.msg6700479#msg6700479 <nowiki>[1]</nowiki>]</sup> However, the physics calculations assume a tile size of 2.8 meters high and a tick rate of 10 ticks per second, and from the listed speeds (in km/h) and gaits (ticks per 100 tiles) and the tick rate of 10 ticks per second, a tile would be about 8x8 feet (2.4×2.4 meters). There are 48×48 tiles in a 1×1 [[embark]]; this is also the scale of overland travel tiles in [[adventure mode]]. 16×16 local tiles, the maximum embark size, covers a region map tile. A single region map tile (the maximum embark size) would contain 768×768 embark tiles (approx. 6144 feet or 1873 meters across). As worlds can have between 17 and 257 region map tiles, a world in ''Dwarf Fortress'' is between 20 and 300 miles (32 and 481 kilometers) across with a maximum area of 89,434 square miles (231,632 kilometers squared)– which is about 4% smaller than the United Kingdom.
-A tile consists of two sections—a wall section and a floor section, shown in cross-section like this:
- ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ -|
- ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒  |
- ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒  |--> Wall Section
- ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒  |
- ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒  |
- ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ -|
- ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ----> Floor Section
-When digging and building, this is important, since some designations and constructions will only be done in wall tiles and others will only be done in floor tiles.
-==Stairs==
-Building a [[stair]]way consists of two elements: an up stair and a down stair, each element is built only in the matching tile section, across two z-levels, like this:
- ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ -|                                  -|
- ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒  |                                   |
- ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒  |--> Wall Section                   |--> Open Space
- ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒  |                                   |

- ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ -|                                  -|
- ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ----> Floor          ▓      ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ----> Down Stair
- ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ -|                   ▒▒▒            -|
- ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒  |                     ▒▒▒           |
- ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒  |--> Wall Section       ▒▒▒         |--> Up Stair
- ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒  |                         ▒▒▒       |
- ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒  |                           ▒▒▒     |
- ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ -|                             ▒▒▒  -|
- ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ----> Floor          ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ----> Floor
-An up-down stair, or building both up and down stairs in the same tile, works like this:
- ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ -|                   ▒▒▒            -|               -|
- ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒  |                     ▒▒▒           |                |
- ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒  |--> Wall Section       ▒▒▒         |--> Up Stair    | Up/Down
- ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒  |                         ▒▒▒       |                |  Stair
- ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒  |                           ▒▒▒     |                |
- ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ -|                             ▒▒▒  -|                |
- ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ----> Floor          ▓      ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ----> Down Stair -|
-==Walls==
-Both naturally-occurring and constructed walls span across two z-levels, the bottom wall section and floor and the top floor section:
-                -|
-                 |
-                 |--> Open Space Wall
-                 |

- ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ -|                 |
- ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ----> Floor       -|
-Smoothed and engraved walls span across only one z-level, the bottom wall section and floor. The floor above the wall can become "open space" by two methods: felling a tree above the wall, and digging a down stair above the wall, which is technically "open" (by exposing the tile below).

-==Supports and Fortifications==
-Unlike walls, [[support]]s span only one z-level, allow liquids and movement, and don't create a floor on top.
-Constructed fortifications are basically the same, but block movement as well. Note, however, that fully submerged (depth of 7/7) fortifications no longer block creature movement.
