  1. New zone

    Zones and limits, then New zone. A site can hold more than one zone.

  2. Existing site or new

    Pick one of your sites, or add a new one with its place on the map.

  3. The zone and its limit

    A name people will recognise, a radius round the node, and the limit with its unit.

  4. Create zone

    The portal repeats what you chose. Nodes deployed to it judge captures against this limit from now on.

Read the subtitles

Open Zones and limits from the sidebar and choose New zone. A zone is where a limit applies, and a site can hold more than one.

Keep Existing site and choose Inner basin. For a place you have not used before, New site asks for its name, whether it is water or road, and its place on the map.

Name the zone so people recognise it: Slipway. Give a radius round the node, here 120 metres, and the limit: 3 knots. You can draw an exact shape once it exists.

Choose Create zone. The portal repeats what you chose before it saves. Nodes deployed to the zone judge captures against its limit from now on, and the new zone opens.
