Grid lines

July 12, 2014 3:43:07 AM from Galactic Civilizations III ForumsGalactic Civilizations III Forums

I think it is a bonus.

At first during expansion I want them then when things are stable I like to have them off so things look nice.

As things change grid lines go off and on depending.

I have no doubt that the finished game will allow 'ctrl+G' to turn the grid on/off.

They talked in the dev stream about the "no grid outside your territory" feature. I like it.  I turned it on immediately when I found it.  I also like being able to turn the grid off entirely with ctrl-G

2 for; none against.

The motion passes 2-0

I have advocated to have them off. Peeps all upset about hexes. It does not matter at all if you turn of the lines.

I played with this feature too in my last game. I like that it is an option, and found myself playing most of the time with hexes only in civ boundaries, and occasionally with them everywhere. I think I'd only have them completely off for screenshots... I hope this remains an option.

I like the hexes in civ boundaries alot. I play that way all the time occasionally turning off the grid entirely to see 'space'.

I would like a translucency slider for them though so you could set the grid to varying translucency percentages according to your own taste.
