Why is north up-right, instead of just up? I find it very confusing, is there a reason?

If not, please change it! I end up going the wrong direction all the time.

I think it's because of perspective?

I was confused too at first, but now I'm used to it.

Yes, it is because of the isometric perspective. Look at the shape of maps, there's not a "north" side, there would be a north "corner". That would make it even more complicated. I added a windrose to the area map so you can remember where is each direction ;)

I think it's fine the way it is. I admit that I have to look at the compass to make east from west all the time, but that's more of a problem with me :D
