I agree it should be flat, lets says we see the bottom of the lake, not the surface of it. But the river are not flat, they follow the local slope, they are the real rivers which correspond to the topography of the map (as in RL). > > I'm wondering how you will implement the the graphics for this.

What do you (and other) think ? I find this view very addictive, so also very frustrating because it break some graphics, (for example the really nice bridges just look bad in 3d view) I wanted to see this 3d, and hope this can (re-)motivate other people, I see only one solution for keeping current tiles: - warp them to insure continuity of the ground - maybe draw "warped-ground" first, and building without ground ? I think this is the maximum we can do with current isomectric view and tiles, and that jumping to a real 3d is not feasible soon (and i am not even competent to estimate the workload) > > It's great that we are able to chose a climate type in the new game > menu now.
