No water tiles on water tiles!

So other than the fact that water doesn't add height, is there any reason I can give my prick of a neighbor not to build water tiles on top of water tiles? He can stack 3 water tiles on top of one another to where it looks like the water is higher than an adjacent land hex that it's actually lower than. Extremely annoying. Is there any kind of official rule on this or do I just have to just tolerate this clown if we need another player? Maybe I'll just ban his terrain so he has no say...

Per the rules, you can't stack zero height tiles on top of each other. Many people do to make waterfalls but have house rules to handle it.

Kumiko is not impressed with your sculpt, either.

I figure that every 2 stacked half-height tiles (water, swamp water, ice, lava) count as 1 full-height tile. Thus, 5 half-height tiles stacked up would be equivalent to 2 full-height tiles and the 1 remaining doesn't count for height.

AS long as you realize that is not an official rule, no problem.

Is this in a rule book anywhere?

The only place you are going to find this is in the lava rule book and the tundra rule book.

A must read for all 'Scapers!

I don't recall it being a specific rule as there isn't much commentary on how battlefields are built. However, there is the rule saying water tiles and glyphs do not add height (SotM Rulebook page 9). Therefore, technically, if a water tile = 0 height, then 0 * n = 0, where n is the number of stacked water tiles. This would mean a stack of 100 water tiles still adds 0 height.

You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink.

It is not going to be as definitive as you hope.

It says in the rulebook you can only put on tiles over tiles with a hex interlock.

The dice help those who help themselves.
