Could we get a guide that better explanation of how to tell what triangles should be referred to as?

Do you mean in terms of the coordinates?

[Supernerd]

That sounds like what I need to know, but its so confusing that I'm not 100% sure.

PTW will join when there's more land.

[Zazmio]

The unborn cry out for land, and Phlattus is here to oblige!

Phlattus creates plains at C4s, C3s, B3s, and C3r!

Phlattus is all knowing, and can be grateful for an event that has not yet occured!  Phlattus is thus very grateful for the prayers that have yet to be given by the plains loving folk that do not yet exist!  Let it be known that your prayers will be answered when Phlattus has the faith points to do something good!  Let us enjoin in a flatular symbiosis and cover the hex in terrain lacking bumps!

All right, does this help?

Let's say we want to create this tile:


How do we know which tile this is? Well, we start with the arrows at the sides and bottom, which tell us the directions of their respective axes. We trace lines back outward from the tile we want in those directions, always making sure to pass the edges of the triangles, never the points:


This tile is E4q. Or 4qE, or qE4; the order isn't important, since all three coordinate spaces are different.

I'm open to changing the system if it's too confusing for people. There are plenty of other established methods for coordinating a triangular grid, but I thought this would be simplest... it's pretty commonly used, especially in the materials sciences, where it's a standard way to represent the properties of mixtures of three primaries.

[TricMagic]

I'm fine with it, though it can lead to mistakes. But if it is simple for you, that's more on us. Poke if something is off though.

Fair warning: C3s doesn't exist yet. If you don't change this action, I will assume you want to do it next turn.
However, there are also no tiles named V4s or C4r, so you will need to fix that anyway.

[a1s]

Fixed, but yes, probably meant for next turn.

People seem to like flat triangles when there are mountains one can settle on.

Least I have Cat(fishe)s. Coral Reef for a stone analogue, or kelp forest?

[Maximum Spin]

The world slowly fills in as a third god arises.

Two tribes emerge, blinking, into the sunlight!
Two members of the Catfish give worship to Cait Sith, generating 1 Power for the god; eight more gather fish, kelp, and such from their home ocean, accumulating enough food to feed 9 population for the month; the last two investigate foraging, keeping a close watch on the eight foragers and taking notes to try to improve their technique (+2 Investigation Points toward improving Foraging Level).
The Catfish are left with a food deficit of 3 this month! Though they will try their hardest to stretch their supply, if they cannot make up the extra food next month, the weakest members will surely die.
Similarly, the Plain Humans employs two members in worshipping their own ordinary deity Phlattus, generating 1 Power as well. Eight more fan out across the plains, snagging some tasty plants and seeds as well as a couple of small rabbity things; enough food is collected to sate 15 Humans for the month, but, without any effective storage, only 1/3 of the excess will still be edible next turn. All the while, two more Humans watch the foragers intently, just like their watery counterparts, but these, instead of looking out for ways to collect more food, are taking note of the availability of resources to try to keep within the bounds of what nature can sustainably provide (+2 Investigation Points toward Sustainable Foraging technique).

[Supernerd]

It appeared that food collection rates were so abysmally low, that every single tribe member had to forage every single turn just to survive.

Quick question before I join up: can civs only forage on adjacent tiles, and if so is adjacency across edges or vertices (for example, are F7s and F8t adjacent or not?)?
