What are the ways to delimit the territory in the strategy?

Question

Game development

Most often I see a concept in which you capture hexagons with the help of units. Do you know any other solutions and ideas for delimiting the territory, besides hexagons?
They seem like some sort of overused option.

Answer 1

Yes, any set of tiles that can pave the plane. Of the regular polygons, these are: triangles, squares, hexagons. And then - how does your imagination run wild, up to the " Penrose mosaic " (which is cool because it is aperiodic)
