I've been thinking about this statement lately: - Avoid building anything on a diagonal if you can (source link: (http://southquarter.com/dromed/?p=425) http://southquarter.com/dromed/?p=425)

The thing is that my future campaign project involves a mountain, and brushes or objects are bound to be on diagonals. Even though the campaign will be split into separate missions, will having things on diagonal terrain plus the addition of internal diagonal tunnels create problems? I suppose I could build some things on separate plateaus, but I would also like to have hidden entrances on mountain slopes.

For those who have played TDM, "Mad's Mountain" uses an internal tunnel system, retaining eight-sided cylinders. However, I want to make use of the mountain's surface as well as the underground.

Building on pyramids seems to work okay. Reference:Island of Sorrow by MysteryMan. The pyramid simulates a tall hill. Also, Trail of Blood a t2 o.m. uses some wedges although not really what you are referring to. A diagonal. Just thought I would mention the pyramid.

Also some of those tips on the page you linked are pretty outdated and some are even incorrect. Raising the sky texture scale to 24 will have no effect on anything, as the actual faces of the sky brush aren't rendered.
