There are people who want squares, people who want isometric
Civ-like diamonds, and now people who want hexes (and as an
old-time RPG player I can see how the game could benefit from
that). Perhaps we should add as a goal for, say, 2.1, to get rid
of all code that depends on the square-ness of tiles? So the
shape of tiles would be a matter of choosing a ruleset and
tileset? Ok, I know that's a tough proposition, but sounds
feasible and I can see people wanting to implement it.
