Where is the map grid in Civ1?

Is there no grid to show the 21 squares in my city?

And can I get resources outside of those 21 squares?

Not for that city

The viewable grid was not introduced until Civ2.

I always thought it would be interesting to combine SimCity with Civilization. What I mean is build farms, roads, city walls, on a square-by-square basis, like SimCity, but have all the elements of Civilization on top of it. Now *that* would be a real challeng.

That's what Civ started out as! Sid Meier decided he didn't like it very much like that, though, so he changed it early on.

Interesting. But I think it would be neat to start building the city walls around your city, only to have them blasted by some fools armor as they storm it. Oooh ... how sickening can I get?

Anyway, the 21 resource squares I think the gentleman was talking about were the squares immediately surrounding the city. Can't they be seen and changed by clicking on the City Square?
