Non-Flat Game Maps

Example of a world map in the form of an octahedron. The arrows show the pairs of edges that should be 'glued together' if this flat map were cut out and assembled into the actual octahedron. Those arrows also show how units should move between tiles as they traverse those edges

If the 'north pole' is the point in the middle of the image where the tiles C, A, E and G meet, then the 'south pole' is found in all the tiles H, F, B and D, namely on the point on each of those tiles which is pointing 'outwards', away from the middle.

The four rhomboid tiles (the 'leaf shapes' forming the larger 'flower shape' of he map) are taken from the Empire Boardgame project
