Aetherium is a diverse continent, with mountain ranges, swamps, forests and much more. The center of the continent holds more valuable tiles, so there will be more action there. The map shows you the continent of Aetherium. A new map is randomly generated for every game server, so it's never the same.
The game map for a village with three claimed tiles and combat events.
On the map, you'll see where your villages are. You can claim new tiles around your village here as well.
Clicking on a tile shows the resource buildings you'll get when claiming that tile.

Villages will have different colored borders on the map:
- Yellow: your own villages. You can move troops between your own villages.
- Blue: allied villages from Kingdoms in the same Empire. You can send reinforcements and get a warning if you send an attack.
- Red: all other villages, these are considered hostile. You can only attack these.
In areas where players settle, events will start popping up. These are indicated with icons on the bottom right of a tile.

If you have troops on the way to or stationed at a tile, a boot icon will appear in the top left corner of the tile. This is the same for players and events.
At certain stages of the game, objectives will appear on the map.
