CWBP 2 Deciding the map

[Ghostman]

If someone could map the hexes (with whatever other elements needed) to a globe they could all be roughly the same size though. Squares would be pretty warped, triangles the easiest but also pretty warped.

Is that actually possible? Hexes laid edge to edge will result in a flat plane, not the surface of a sphere, so I don't see how they could be used to map a globe without getting smaller and smaller toward the poles. They'll also inevitably be somewhat warped in shape but not nearly as badly as rectangles.

To truly have similar-sized tiles (of any shape) with minimal distortion when mapped on a globe we'd have to base the grid on a spherical polyhedron.

It is not possible really with only hexes, but all the areas would be roughly the same size. When the mesh will be as fine as required for this purpose it becomes silly complicated. I think squares or hand drawn is what we should go with.
