It is vital for every square to be obviously water or land, and thus a water square needs to be covered in, let's say, 90%. In these tiles you have water with as little coverage as Note: 0000015% (a wild eyeball guesstimate).

I didn't copied it here because of this link. Anyway, it is not exact cell tiles. It is pieces from which tiles supposed to be built. I think most of them will cover 90%. Well, maybe some cells will be 85%, but another one can be 105%. In any case it's pretty clear which cell it is, ground or water.

This was recently tried with icy stone (with an overflow 2 pixels wide) and it led to minor artefacts in local tiles, bigger breakage in webtiles. Without a significant code overhaul, a tile needs to stay within it boundaries. It is possible to add overlays to neighbouring tiles, but that adds complexity and information leaks, I doubt it's worth it. Let's keep water from leaking. Also, there's a planned race (djinn) who are hurt by water; tiles you are proposing resemble Slime borders, which may confuse people into thinking standing next to water is bad.

(0019973) white_noise (reporter) 2012-09-06 12:48	Ok then. It's no big deal. Forget about it, or save it for the better days. By the way, it may be a good idea if djinn will get hurt a bit while standing next to water. By moist air and splatters. It can serve as warning.
