 == Design Tips and Conventions ==
 
+* Maps should be round, not square.
+ * Square maps in atlas are deprecated.
+ * Round maps avoid sharp corners, hence more esthetical.
+ * The minimap is round, so square maps don't fit.
+ * On circular maps, all locations are equally reachable from the center of the map, while Civic Centers in corners of square maps are hard to reach (not considering terrain).
+
 * Place terrain over an area rather than a tile. Most times placing tiles only looks unnatural. In addition remember terrain from the same biome fits better to each other than tiles from different biomes.
