To make their movement look less awkward, would it be possible to force them to move a certain number of tiles forward before being able to change directions, and only allowing them to do so 45 degrees at a time? Would also allow you to outflank them easier.

I thought about that. As far as I can tell, this would require an almost separate AI pathing method, and would be a lot more complicated than the current method. Considering what happened the last time someone tried to 'improve' pathing, I'd rather stay away from that.

Also, think about it: How many tile-based games do you know where that is the case?
