When using Sweep Into the Sea, what does "Push... one land towards the nearest Ocean" mean? What if you move a piece inland?
When using Sweep Into the Sea, what does "Push... one land towards the nearest Ocean" mean? What if you move a piece inland?
When you Push towards the Ocean, the land you Push to must be closer to the nearest Ocean than the land they're currently in, measuring by Range. So a land 2 away from its closest Ocean could only Push to lands 1 away from that Ocean (Coastal to it). As with all ambiguous cases, if multiple Oceans are closest, you decide which one to consider "nearest".
Similarly if you move a piece inland, you move it further away from the Ocean: each land it moves through must be further from (any) Ocean than the one it left.
All game notions of "closer" and "further" use Range – you never need a ruler, and a land that looks physically closer might not actually be at shorter Range!
