Same number of flames

Does anyone know what happens when 2 players have the highest number of flames at the end of a Dewan game? Will each player get 2 or 4 points if that's the case?

And another beginner question, because there is there is no rules document freely available:
In the screenshot below I indicated 3 fields with a red V, they are next to the same waters but not next to each other. Do these field with the red V count as 2 or 3 field that are next to water? I am not sure if I need a camp on the water tile next to the single water tile near top of the as well to have 3 camps that are next to water. Can someone please clarify this?

The rulebook is available on the BGA Dewan game page, the link leads to the files section on BGG.

To answer your questions anyway: Both players get 4 points if they’re tied for flames. Regarding the screenshot: your tents are adjacent to two different water zones, so you’ve got two water requirements covered.

To clarify: a tent on the central space touching two distinct water zones would be sufficient for that. You count the zones, not the tents.

Thanks for your answers, problem with BGG (BoardGameGeek) is that you need to create an account to open the rules documents. And for Dewan I couldn't find a rules document anywhere else.

One more question about my screenshot in the 2nd post. Next to my (yellow) starting camp there is a black mountain zone. If I place two camps in that zone and the camps are not connected to each other like the black tile with the grey resource and the black tile with the blue resource and a berry: do I understand it correctly that this counts as 1 black (mountain) zone for my mission cards but as two zones of two camps = 4 points at the end of the game if I also have a camp on the Sand tile adjacent to that black camp with the blue resource? (and two points for the berry of course)

Thanks, I didn't find that when I searched for it on Google.

So when a mountain zone contains 4 spaces and you have 2 camps there on spaces that are not directly next to each other: this still count as 1 mountain zone for the story tiles? I hope I interpret the rules correctly now.

Yeah, while Google was the best one for a long time, I feel that it has become one of the worst, always trying to streamline and “correct” anything you enter. Yes, you got that right, you count different zones with tents (or adjacent tents in the case of water), not tents. You just need 1 tent to make all adjacent different water zones count, as well as the zone your tent is placed in.
