Hex Map 15: Distances
Now that we can create nice maps, let's focus on figuring out how long it would take to travel across it. In this tutorial, we'll figure out the shortest distance from all cells to a selected cell.

Why are rivers not blocked? Is that part of a later tutorial? Are they special in some way?

You mean rivers not blocking movement? They represent small rivers that are easily crossed. Because we put them in the center of tiles, a unit isn't on a specific side of a river, so it's not possible to pinpoint a place where a river gets crossed. At best, we could make the whole tile with a river in it not navigable, but it's better to just use a submerged tile for that.
