[QUOTE="Lackhand, post: 4057456, member: 36160"] So the monster was orthogonal to the presented grid? I mean, I don't [i]mind[/i] that you had rotations there, but the grid that the monster was playing on wasn't the same grid as the rest of the players were. Which is, of course, a 2x2 square. Ow, my brain. :) AMEN! If it helps, I'm eating cookies and drinking cider, so I've got my end covered. Catch up! Chop chop! I don't care much about the subject, honestly; I agree that 1-2-1-2 is an excellent abstraction that hews closely to regular euclidean space. I just think you need to be prepared to bend/fold/spindle/mutilate it to use it well, and this is true of any grid used. Because of my buddha-like detachment, I enjoy the 1-1-1-1, because I just can't be bothered. I think ideal solution for everyone would have been to have orthogonal movement cost 2, diagonal movement cost 3, and for humans to have a speed of 12, not 6. Voila! [/QUOTE]
