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.
