They look very much like Civ II, even the text; so much so that I started
to wonder if they don't infringe on copyrights ...

Me too, but I must say, after my second (and last) Civ II game it already
started to make sense to me.  That is, it becomes playable, but I still
find it ugly, buth the isometric system and the particular tiles that
Civ II uses.  The trident tileset is clearer and prettier in my opinion.

More votes for having an optional isometric system ... it looks like this
is one of the top items on the wishlist.
