Thank's for V-hexes, but about the visibility, I want to make a battle in a random map, but want to define the visibility, how can I do taht for rain for example??

Wait for a rainy day, take some landmarks, pick up your binoculars and draw a spreadsheet!

Frankly, you can do from your own mind, you'd better the actual weather from the visibility you want, except if you have real references.

You can define the visiblity when you select your battle settings, that should be no problem.

Stratos,

when you wish to define the visibility you must take into consideration variables like illumination (brightness), air humidity and weather conditions.

For instance, you mentioned that you wish to calculate the visibility during a rain. But you didn't mention variables like the daytime hour, climatological zone and intensity of that rain.

For example, a mid-day (12:00 hour) tropical rain (Rain forest) has lower visibility than a heavy rain at 19:00 (summer-time) at the Mediterranean region.

cheers,

I also have a problem. My roads and trin lines don't go to the board edge. Is there something I am doing wrong?

The roads will enter the grey hexes only on the "east" and "west" sides of the map. On north and south they only just go to the grey side hexes.

If this isn't what you mean exactly you'll need to attach the map so we can look at it but roads etc. will go right to the edge of the playable map area
