Could that be a capital in the middle?

i have no idea tbh. also they would need to implement more things in order to make it a capital

It looks...interesting.

No judgment from me as long as no gameplay/mechanics information is available to speculate on.

A map-screen is nice, but there isn't anything here yet to comment on.

Ooh, we can actually see the pretty maps now.

[Phantomdestiny]

to me the main point is that it increases the amount of choke points and allows for better battle flow

[Sturmhardt]

Hm... if you ask me they just visually removed the faction colors from some hexes to make clear where the enemy might head next. From what I see it seems to be more of a visual clarification. It looks good, but Will that change anything?

actually not because if you see there it reduces the amount of connections between hexes and also makes it so you have to move from base to base in a "link" line

Indeed!

Updated the OP a bit.

This is pretty damn epic looking.. this could create some pretty crazy ass fights.

Excellent, and well-demonstrated. I've wondered why neutral hexes never made it into release.

What you're looking at is a hex map with reduced connectivity for a more predictable battle flow. What do you think?

I like it. Almost a bit too predictable though, but then, there's only so much to tell from a picture.

No this video is about a different idea. It is a good idea but I think the old lattice system even better.

Yea, the mechanics doesn't really change. They've just put in smaller hexes but the adjacency mechanics seems the same. Actually I take that back ... you can't cap Arraya tarre just because you have strong hold

Oh I see, you are right, it limits your options a lot. Then I like it
