Hi Ian,
Yes, you can move diagonally in TOC.
I'd love to see diagonal movement, and or ranged attacks diagonally in
tacticle Battle.
Which brings me in mind of a thing that happened on the kingdom of war bonus
map.
I had my mage at 7,3. and I was attacked and killed from an enemy who was on
5,5. How did they do that? I didn't realise I'd be vonerable from a diagonal
attack?
Thanks much.

Carlos,
Using the I, J, K, and L keys would work, though map creators could not
use those for hot keys anymore.
Unless I made it so you hold shift plus those to move your review cursor
and control plus those to move the current unit.
I'm actually looking at using I, J, K, L, plus U O, M, and comma for doing
diagonal movement.
Not sure completely, but I've been avoiding using shift plus any of those
keys in order to support moving the current unit diagonally.
I hate requiring shift plus keys just to navigate the map, but consuming
all those keys and not letting map creators do hot keys with them seems a
shame as well.
Maybe the hot keys map creators choose should all be shift + the key or
control plus the key.
Then I could use the non shift / non control versions for normal movement
plus game wide hot keys.
Just thinking aloud now. I'll put some more thought into it later.
Does TOC allow diagonal movement?
Does anyone think diagonal movement would be nice for their maps? I've had
people ask why I didn't do it in TB.
It's about 80% done because of things I had to implement in the breadth
first search and other things related to line of sight.
So I was going to add it as an option soon since it's not too far off.
The biggest thing left is getting the keyboard shortcuts right for it.
