I'd already considered that, as well as simply scrapping the whole "tile" idea
(as well as "terrain X provides integer N production..." concept for a more
natural system); however, to appease everyone, these would have to be options
which can be toggled on or off, with the intent of eventually branching into
what is pretty much a separate game as things become too different; again, to
avoid controversy, if I have time to implement them, they would be implemented
as options.
