Quick Question regarding tile size
« on: June 08, 2009, 09:00:31 PM »
Well, I know that a map sector measures 25 miles x 25 miles...  What I'd like to know is the dimensions of a single tile in terms of game distance...  In feet?  Maybe yards?

1 square mile  5280ft x 5280ft   that makes up 1 tile...

Or to break a tile down it's as follows:

1 square tile is equivalent to:

    * 4,014,489,600 square inches
    * 27,878,400 square feet
    * 3,097,600 square yards
    * 640 acres
    * 2560 roods
    * 25,899,881,103.36 square centimetres
    * 2,589,988.110336 square metres
    * 2.589988110336 square kilometres
