Hmm.  Maybe we're talking about cross-purposes.

I'm talking about using exactly the same map (a cylinder), no 'height'
information. Still precisely a 2D game (in fact, still exactly the
same game) just twisted by 30 degrees (or 45, if you like, but then
it's not isometric).

So perhaps that's not what you mean.  What sort of changes do you
envisage needing in the server?
