Its definately tile based(geographical)... there may be some hidden mechanic for it to come after some long length of time, i can't confirm this as its never happened to me, and iv had some long games trying to find the little room that i somehow overlooked that he was in... some of the maps are tedious in how much space there is to explore, and the map doesn't always do the best job in showing where you have and havnt explored.

In anycase, in 99% of the cases it will always be tile based. Defence will spawn at the beginning everytime, and it seems to be the case with interception to, atleast on the maps iv done.

On maps like defence iv found its best to do it solo for speed, but on other maps where there is alot of searching groups have been very helpful even pugs!(except the pugs where people flip out on you insisting that there is no need to search cause the spawn is on a timer not geographical) *looks suspiciously at OP*
