RISEN! September 19, 2026 RISEN! Day 2 Iteration 18

The map goes square

The area map is now a square grid instead of hexes, so RISEN! shares one grid with its sister games. Scouting still reveals the land one ring at a time, but a ring is now a square band around the camp: 8 tiles, then 16, then 24.
A horde can cut corners now: it walks diagonally toward the camp, still one ring a night.
Everything is drawn at the shared tile size, so people, the risen and the map are sharper.
More land close to camp makes runs a little kinder: in 500 test runs by the bot, founding a settlement rose from 26% to 34%. Version v0.0.18.
