Depends on your use case. Hex's have a lot of advantages when you are a transportation oriented company. All hexes are the same size and the distance between the center of any two adjacent hexes is always the same distance. https://h3geo.org/docs/highlights/aggregation https://h3geo.org/docs/highlights/aggregation
As an example of where this is useful, it makes it very easy to get a list of all hexes with distance less than X from a current location.
Here's a comparison they give to some of the other common geographical partitions https://h3geo.org/docs/comparisons/s2 https://h3geo.org/docs/comparisons/s2
- Pamar 5y agoYes. This is why, btw, wargames have more or less standardized in hex grids: no sudden 20% increase of speed for units moving diagonally.

- Blammar 5y agoDon't you mean sqrt(2) increase in speed? (1.41+)
- Pamar 5y agoYes, sorry, 1.4 (also consider that most wargames have rules where travelling on roads units can double speed...)
