This is an illustration of how distances would look on a Goldberg Polyhedron tessellation of the globe. Initial inspiration came from the reddit thread Civ VI could include a hexagon tessalated sphere. It is not exclusively hexagons however, since 12 pentagons will always be present which will disrupt the otherwise structured mesh. Hold mouse to spin the globe and click to select tiles and view neighbouring range; especially around the pentagons. Mouse wheel zooms in/out.
