5. Mountain

Mountains block wind and prevent clouds from passing over them.


6. Water

Some tiles in Hectare are covered by water. Sunlight causes water to evaporate from these tiles. The water vapor then travels through the air, and eventually forms clouds and rains back down.
Tiles near water tiles will be naturally wetter.


7. Cloud

Clouds drift across the sky, blown by the wind. They will eventually start to rain, delivering much-needed groundwater to your peoples' crops. 


8. Flag

A flag indicates the position of a town that is not currently inactive. The town may not yet be unlocked, or it may have been destroyed.
