If you already have a town there, the easiest in-game way is to click on the square, then select "send diplomats" or "send army", which will tell you what the distance is.

Otherwise, use the formula or links provided above.

No Lothar used the correct formula based on my knowledge of what the ten square rule is, but if your not good with that type of math their are tonnes of sites that can help.

Or you can just look at a image like this to help you understand link from DIL's alliance page.

There are 2 ways. The easiest is use the exodus way where you see if you can exodus there. The game does it for you. Second is ignore it.

I've realised this isn't as straightforward as it seems. Do I count North, South, East and West, then make a square of it? Do I count NSEW and the intermediary diagonals as well, then join those up? Or something else? Ermm
