Title: Viva La Hexagons!
Post by: mrhanman on May 04, 2013, 10:58:07 pm
All square tiles should immediately be replaced with hexagons!  Hexagons are better than squares in every respect.  See the following table for proof:

ShapeEdgesVertices
Square44
Hexagon66

I rest my case.

You got your Civilization 5 in my Skyward Collapse!

If we're voting for tile shapes, I'm voting for the Mandelbrot Set (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandelbrot_set)  :P

Hehe... I would've thought of Wesnoth first, not Civ5.

Besides, is there some fractal that's infinitely tileable? ;)

Not a fan of hexagons, or requests to redo the art two weeks before release. ;)

Well, that preempts my thread demanding pre-rendered CGI art assets for everything.  :'(

It won't keep someone on RPS from asking for it.

It will keep them from complaining about it though, since it doesn't have it.

Never underestimate entitled gamers' ability to complain about things. If it's there, they don't like it; if it's not there, they bemoan the lack of it.

Anyway, good to see progress on the new title coming along. Sorry I've been lurking for a while and not posting, but I'm intrigued to see where these new games are going.
