 === Multihex tiles ===
-Multihex tiles work differently. They don't have seperate transitions. One could say the trans are attached to the tile itself. They also behave differently. While normal tiles draw their trans according to the layering a multihex tile will rather overlap terrain either vertically and/or horizontally. This means fx that mountain tops will extend into tiles above removing the need for a special transition. for other sorts of terrain like grassland and other flat ones this must be done in a way that will allow them to mesh into each other. Of course multihex is not neccesarily ideal for all terrain types.

 Few terrain types use all these possible transitions, if any.
-It is possible to make several transitions and use different ones depending on which terrain type is adjacent. There is also a need for special transitions when terrains are adjacent to castles.

-Transitions are drawn around tiles according to a what is defined in terrain-graphics.cfg. Each terrain is placed in a given layer.
