Borders

Borders
The Borders of an empire shows an empire's boundaries. They incorporate the hex tiles that belong to a specific empire. Certain hex tiles provide Resources for an empire. If these Resource tiles are included in the border, then they will provide resources to the empire.

In general, each Settlement owns the tile it is on and the tiles adjacent to it. Borders do not expand past the six tiles adjacent to a Settlement. Two settlements from the same empire can share a Resource tile to get double the amount of Resources. If a tile is adjacent to settlements from different empires, it will belong to the settlement that first settled there (with some exceptions for Ruins mechanics).

Border Color
Border Color is a Customizable that can be crafted in the Workshop (see Crafting). Border Color determines the color and pattern of the border. Some borders may have special effects such as glowing, shining, or metallicizing.
