Subject:Isometric Map

Hello everyone,

I am looking to start writing a game similar to Railroad Tycoon, but with
better graphics, more features, and an isometric layout. The trouble is,
I'm not sure how to do an isometric layout, at least, not at a reasonable
speed. Would anyone be nice enough to let me know how to do it?
I was thinking that I could work out the display on the flat, like RRTycoon,
and then put it into an isometric plane, but this would probably be
overcomplex.

The display should be along the lines of Sim City 2000 eventually, updating
rapidly enough to show trains moving etc.

Thanks.

Regards,

Sandy Brownlee
