You could just as easily make them square, and make a shelf
area around the hole on which the cover rests (the hole
itself being square).
They are probably round because:
#1. it is *easier* to make the hole/cover system if it is
round (though it is by no means impossible to make it any
other shape), and
#2. they are probably a more natural shape for people to
be able to fit through ;)
man hole covers... sewers... ObCircle:
Anybody else think the sewer area could stand a re-write
and/or re-calibration. I know I almost never explored the
sewers as a player, and I suspect it is one of the most
underused areas in the mud.
