Panning the camera ahead
When moving, in order to allow the player to see more of what is going on in the direction they are going, pan in the direction the player is moving so that about 2/3 of the screen is what is ahead of the player. This is more natural compared to human movement where, you retain some sense of what is going on to your side and behind you, but you are looking well ahead of where you are going.
This would be very useful when traveling Grid-North, where, especially with the map expanded, it is already difficult to click in the direction you are headed.

By nature of this technically being a 2d game, we are presented with technical limitations where this isn’t really possible. It is technically possible that we could have ways to rotate the camera among the 4 main directions in the future, though this would have to be a far-future update.
