Multiple palettes for a tileset?

[megamarc]

Yes, but the number of different palettes were fixed in hardware, and were 16 colours each (4bpp). In Tilengine you can have an unlimited number of palettes, 256 colors each one. This makes per-tile palette unnecesary. It's very unlikely that you will need more than 256 colors on a pixel-art tileset, that are usually drawn using very small palettes.
