do you play with the grid on?

[ybbor]

for those who don't know you can hit ctrl-G to put a grid on, do usually play like this?

 

[alamo]

Absolutely. I hate it when my troops go off into the weeds.

 

[Haradrim]

The only time I use the grid is when I'm not sure where tile boundaries are. Otherwise it's off.

 

[punkbass2000]

I voted no. I do, very occasionally, use it if there are vast tracts of the same terrain type, or vast water squares of the same type, however.

 

[IroquoisPlisken]

All the time. It's gotten to a point where I can't imagine playing without it.
It's just annoying having to turn it on every time I play the game.

 

[viper275]

I don't use it when I play the game, but I like it when I make maps in the editor.

 

[general_kill]

i definitely use it, i really hate it when i make a movement mistake that could have been prevented with grids on.

 

[WackenOpenAir]

Sometimes i use it when i want to count the amount of tiles on an island (to decide how many cities i want on it). Counting is easier with grid.

 

[The Omega]

No, it just doesn't look right for there to be lines on the ground.

 

[Strider]

No, it just adds to the experience more.

 

[GR8Madmax]

I'll have the grids on till I'm done with settling the land. I then turn it off.

 

[warpstorm]

I only flip it on momentarilly to check on a spot where eyeballing it doesn't give a clear count.

 

[Longasc]

i switch it on when it comes to 1 tile "can i attack or will i end the turn before the enemy" AND in the settling phase.

But usually I turn it off, visually more pleasant.

 

[nameless53]

only when i need to calculate something.

tight combat in war or settlement of cities.

otherwise i always have it OFF! love to see the land's beauty fully.

 

[RegentMan]

I have it on until I am finished founding cities. When I discover an island, it comes back on.

 

[Padma]

This was the subject of my first poll, a couple years ago.

Then, as now, my answer was that I normally play with it off. I turn it on to check city placement, and if I have to double check movement and such. (In other words, not often. )

 

[JonathanValjean]

I almost always have the grid turned on.

 

[Turner]

'Other - Use it rarely, and it's on for a second, then back off.'

Didn't feel that 'sometimes' quailified for that.

 

[Frollo]

To be honest -- I don't know!

I may or may not be playing with the grid on. There's so much to look at: units, cities, terrain and all, that I don't pay attention to the grid.
I think I sometimes put it on when I'm placing cities, but I can't recall if I put it back off afterwards or not.
That's why I voted 'sometimes'...

 

[majk-iii]

i woted no, but i would like to ask if there's a list of quick-commands for c3/c3c anywhere on civfanatics... exept the grid, zoom and worker-commands... i can't find anything on it in the pedia.
