Waypoints are like bookmarks on a map - they address a certain cell. They have multiple uses:
* The Waypoints numbered 0 - 7 are used as starting points for each of the 8 possible players.
* The [{{Tt|[[Maps/Basic|Basic]]}}] {{arr|r}} [[HomeCell]] use waypoints to determine where the screen should be focused in a map at startup.
* Most [[Maps/Events|Events]] and [[Maps/Actions|Actions]] make use of them.
* Most map elements use them as well.

The [{{Tt|Waypoints}}] section in a map takes this format:
[Waypoints]
Index=COORDS

{| style="width: 80%" border=1 class="table_descrowdesccol"
|+ Meanings of each string
! style="width: 13em; " | String
! Meaning
|-
! {{Anchor|Index|ts}}
| The Index of this waypoint. Unlike lists such as [InfantryTypes], the index does matter - the game allocates space for 702 Waypoints (#0 - #701) and will interpret Index as the number of the waypoint in that space.
|-
! {{Anchor|COORDS|ts}}
| The number containing the coordinates of the cell. It is interpreted as {{Tt|Y * 1000 + X}}.
