Does It Affect Gameplay Elements?

The developers have not adapted a tile-based grid system, as seen in Age of Empires 3. Nevertheless, this does not affect or degrade gameplay in any way, as all the buildings perform their respective operations regardless of their direction. For example, a watchtower attacks enemies from every direction irrespective of its current facing angle.

Remember, the feature is not available as of now but can be included in a future patch. Still, we have to wait for any official announcement from the developer's side.
