I know this may sound like a stupid question, so apologies up front for that...

I decided to try and recreate a shard I had put together some years ago now for myself and my family (I lost the files for that when my NAS was hijacked with ransomware )
I've reached the stage of putting the various wild animal spawns and populating the world with monsters, but can't for the life of me remember how distances work. I think using '0' for distance from spawn point in Axis means there is no limit, but what do I use to constrain spawns to different areas?

After they wander too far, spawned creatures get teleported back to their home area

Thanks Darksun, that's something else I didn't know but it stands to reason, but how does the distance number work?
If I put a distance of, for example, 20 in the distance box in Axis, how far does that equate to on a map?

If i remember well they can spawn up to 20 tiles away.

Doh!
Of course - it’s all done by squares or tiles - I’m embarrassed now

In the ultima, the movement, one step of the characters, is always controlled by one tile, which are squares. It's alright this way.
