I really miss these building games that used an isometric grid. RC Tycoon, Zoo Tycoon, Sim City, TTD, … Yes, it's less realistic, but it is so pleasant to work with. Everything you build aligns perfectly and if you want, you can neatly fill the entire map. In comparison, (even with many mods) my Cities Skylines or Planet Coaster creations never look quite right. Building the roads and paths is always awkward and frus…
We made it especially hard on ourselves by having 3D characters interact with the 2D tiles:

I absolutely adore the look of isometric, though.

#85This thing is killing my CPU, what's the actual bottleneck here for CSS? Is it the number of elements visible and rendered at once? Is it the calculation engine backing CSS is super slow? Or just that most of the work is being done on the CPU it seems (on my machine, rotating around the map, my integrated GPU goes to 20% but CPU stays around 40-50%).

#88Can someone please reimplement something like Warcraft 2 on a mobile web device? It would be a hit, I’m telling you. Even from 1995. Some people are still playing it 30 years later, obsessively. And myth ii by Bungie is a classic too
Stratagus has an android port at least ...
Also Microsoft claims this after buying Blizzard:
Through great teams and great technology, Microsoft and Activision Blizzard will empower players to enjoy the most-immersive franchises, like “Halo” and “Warcraft,” virtually anywhere they want.
