Those sexy 2D slopes...

Probably more accurate to say that the coding on where to point at is hard coded in the programming.

I think what your artist here is saying is that the elevation changes were edited in the map editor to be all embankments, and the embankment graphic was changed.

In order to make this work, then the embankment terrain effects if there would need to be removed -otherwise all of your elevation changes are also going to, technically, be embankment terrain.

Personally I would have added that to the engine; not showing the effects at all as a preference is a super easy mod - just layer in the background colour over the hexsides -and presto - they never show up ... so by not doing that.. it's actually less flexible for modders.
