[Freeciv-Dev] tilted isometric tiles...

[Christian Stock <cstock@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

One thing which annoys me in freeciv is that the isometric tilesets are 
tilted by 45 degrees. This makes scrolling quite hard. I thought about it 
and I think the solution is to use diamond shaped tiles rather than tilted 
square tiles. What I mean is that you treat each tile as a true diamond, 
not just a projected square. This means that units would move over the 
corners rather than the edges, and you get a zigzag pattern at the poles. 
However, the maps will be projected 1 to 1, not a 45 rotated view and the 
scrolling should be easier too.
Just an idea...
