        Best for me is the Harpoon latitude/longitude 3D projection - it's accurate and easy to use.

        Hexagons are my next favourite. No extra movement going diagonal.

        Isometric and squares are my least favouite, although Civ gives the best use of them.

                    HL was a great game, I still have the game music on my PC.

                    The map is not isometric though. Its just Hexagonal 2-D.

                    You'd have to squash the map along the vertical (~60%) a bit and make the units stand up a bit to make it isometric. Almost identical to the process you use to make the Civ 2-D Squares isometric (except you don't rotate the grid through 45 degrees in the first instance).

                      I like the isometric hexagons in Age of Wonders II.

                                I've said it before, and will say it again:

                                3D for strategy games, means ugly'er graphics (compared to what it could have been done easier, in 2D), higher system requirements and in most cases: A worse interface...
