Even if it is a double tile, you simply count the spaces (areas). A double tile still consists of 2 spaces. Therefore it doesn't matter if you use double-sized tiles or normal tiles for the tower, flying machine or a dragon, the "range" stays the same.

Should we consider that we should always count spaces (areas) and not tiles, and then consider any tiles in that space if more than one or part of one?| | {{FAQ|nesting=1|width=600px|title= | ||
