Terrain help...

[Blips]

I've just picked up the game and have a few questions regarding terrain. Sorry if these have been asked before, but I've been unable to find any answers.

I've attached a sceenshot here.[imgur.com]

First question is what do the numbers in the parentheses mean? The (4, 14, 2) in the circled box.

Secondly, and likely related to the first question, is what is the "flat" resource of the tile? There is a +20% to requisition but I don't see where the flat resource type/amount is listed that would be returned if the tile was claimed by a city for example.

Nearly lastly, do the descriptions of the tile, (grassland, brush, rocks) have any significance to gameplay?

Finally, areas like the "sunken hive": are they just there for world building or do these discovered areas actually do something?


Thanks for you help.

Coordinates. (4,14) represents the position of the hexagon on the map, the (2) represents the altitude. a difference of 2+ in altitude (so 2-4, basically. 1 is always water, and 4 is the max) prevents movement and melee attacks between the tiles.

Tiles don't give any resource, only buildings do. The %age value is the modifier that a building will receive if built on that tile. For example if you build a Refectory (base 6 req), it will give 7.2 requisition per turn (6*1.2).

A rock tile will always only have two building max per tile, and give +20% ore/requisition (depending on what resource the faction use) on it.
The name indicates what will be on the tile in an easy way. But until you can remember it, you can just read the tooltip (or check in the Compendium).
Some modifiers will not apply to a faction. For example, for Tyranids, rock tiles are just tiles with 2 buildings. There is no boost to production.

Named areas are just for world building and have no gameplay impact.
