The only way I can think of is to reject the classic baseplates and start with
the walls of buildings directly. The building could then be placed at any angle
on a tile surface.

You could build a 2x rim underneath the walls (thus keeping the design much the
same) and use the tiles under that. As a man whose 8 year old trains still set
the standards I think you can manage it ;)

I guess the whole impression would be more natural, when at least one building
at any corner of the central church would be roteded by ~ 30°. I will put this
on my to-do-list for future improvements.

Excellent.

But I may consider to build a similar hill from real bricks to adjust it's look
to the rest of the landscape at some point. Thanks for pointing out your
perception of this detail.

I think that would be a great touch. A nice reference back to the past but with
a new twist.
