I would still like to get you guys thinking about some function for the standard map tiles. Right now, their only function is to provide distance between points of interest. I think this is inefficient in terms of the fun potential: man hours ratio. You already have to make the map tiles, now you just have to make them do fun things.
@cephalo
Could you elaborate a bit on this? I think I know what your after but am not sure how all "standard" tiles could be used in Fun ways?
Something like a Rocky Terrain tile, not boulders per say, perhaps more gravel based, that would/could apply some Bonus/Penalty to movement of certain unit types vs a nice waist high swaying Grass Tile that could provide some Bonus to concealment, or short term Food for your soldiers animals perhaps?
Perhaps I did miss the point after-all.
