+The same basic rules can be applied to boards of various shapes, sizes and layouts, so rules are given in a general form.  Specific differences between scenarios are outlined in the Scenarios section below.
 You play by jumping from knight to knight.  Some squares are 'dead' on the board, and cannot be occupied.
+**If you like the concept, but don't like any of the scenarios, you can design your own.  Take a look at this thread:**

-You do not need to leave any units behind, but if you abandon a square it will revert to neutral.  This also provides great freedom traveling around the board in the attack phase.

 ====== Board Creation ======
-This board (territories, borders, continents, images, etc.) was programmatically generated in python.  The board size and number of squares occupied by knights is set. Then the placement is done randomly with heuristics.  Finally XML and PNG files are created.  ([[:boards:knight_s_tour:python|More details]])
