The maps in "Crimson Fields" are made up of
hexagonal tiles . Each tile can be made of a different terrain. Different units have different degrees of mobility in different terrain. For example,tank s can move quickly on roads, slowly in forests, and cannot move at all on water.Crimson Fields [http://crimson.seul.org/docs/crimson.html manual] ]There are also buildings in the game. All buildings can store units. Some buildings can also build and repair units. These two operations cost crystals, the game's form of resources. While buildings cannot be built, they can be captured, along with all of the units stored within them, through the use of infantry.
