Territory

Distances here are counted in steps, not as the crow flies, so borders rarely fall on a single tidy line — they spread into bands several cells wide before one capital wins. Marches, the contested cells, are a feature of that geometry, not a flaw.

One shortcut: marches only ever form between capitals that share a chessboard colour.

RULES

• Several hidden capitals rule this land.
• Each cell belongs to its strictly nearest capital, counting steps (not diagonals).
• A cell whose two nearest capitals are equally close is a march: contested ground owned by no one, marked ✕.
• Some cells — realms and marches alike — are already labelled. Paint the rest of the map to match.
• Only the map is checked, not the capitals. SHOW SOLUTION marks one possible set of capitals, not the only one.

CONTROLS

• Tap a labelled cell or a palette swatch to choose a brush, then tap or drag to paint.
