Hi,

The Ellispse tool can;t draw small circles for pillars (makes hexagons now).

It used to be good at making small pillars round

Moved from the Laboratory forum to the House of Healing - Unity forum. If you have any issues with Unity please post in this forum, the Laboratory forum is for feedback on test releases. Thanks.

Im guessing this is to reduce the number of points for line of sight?

Indeed. The number of points in circles was considerably reduced (and this was done back in Alpha - so a long time ago). Small circles have been drawn as hexes for many months - and it makes no difference in game whether small pillars are hex like or actual circles.

To speed LOS calculations, all LOS elements are straight lines. Since LOS is only calculated so often as a token moves across a grid, their is no value in having excessive number of LOS elements to represent curves or circles, it would simple be wasted computation.
