Wait, am I just totally confused?

The tileset to be used (including isometric vs. overhead) is a purely
client side issue.  The actual topology is unaffected.  It's perfectly
possible to connect both iso and ovh clients to the same server (I just
tested it), and this is a good thing.

So why would the client be getting tileset instructions over the network?
