Legend

Your seat
Allies
Rivals
AI lords
Happened in the last day: a card taken, an arrival, an alliance (bold: the last three hours)
Landmark: its place card appears here, and earns 2 more an hour held on or next to it
A rival's vassal on the hex it holds
A colony: it holds its hex, and rivals in reach may raid it
Commons vassal in your reach: open it to attack
Commons vassal out of reach
Ocean: cables run under it, nobody settles there
Dark data: 1 data an hour, held
Server farms: 1 rent an hour, held
Legacy ruins: now and then an exploit, held
Open spectrum: a point of influence a day, held

Attacks and probes fly 10 minutes plus 3 per hex. You can attack the commons around your seat and your allies'; a probe extends your reach for a day. The map is the Earth, one hex about 80 km wide, wrapping east to west; each cloud region fills outward from its datacenter town.
