Painted-vector pieces

Corner pieces · sit on intersections

Army · mounted knight with strength

The strength number (total active units in the stack) lives in a dark badge at the bottom-right. Try at different strengths:

Improvements · buildings that live on the hex

Rather than badges on the city, improvements are structures placed on the appropriate tile — a windmill in the woods, a granary in the wheat fields, a quarry in the stone, a market stall on a grain tile near the city.

Composition · buildings on real tiles

Each improvement placed on its thematically-matching tile, at board-scale (about 42px).

Granary · grain tile

Mill · wood tile

Quarry · stone tile

Market · grain tile

Composition · knight fortified inside a city

When an army is fortified at a city, the knight sits inside the city piece with their strength count visible. This is what a walled, defended city looks like on the board.

Legibility · small-size test

On the board at 24-40px, silhouettes have to be unambiguous.
