I would prefer graphs on. Is there a torrent of opinion favouring no graphs to get me to change my mind?

Graphs are free scouting.

I'm of mixed minds about it.

On the one hand, scouting is a lot of micromanagement. If you could recruit scouts and give them the auto-wander command or something, that'd be fine.

On the other hand, graphs give a lot of info that scouts don't give you.

And scouts give a lot of information that graphs don't. Like where and what the troops are.

I prefer graphs of myself too. I find I enjoy games more with the extra uncertainaty about who's doing what. Not that it's a question of life and death.

I prefer graphs on, as it is a pain in the arse to coordinate scouts all over the map to get some info.(but somehow i always get that pain even when the graphs are on)

If graphs are off, QM is at an unfair disadvantage since everyone will assume he's winning and gang up on him even if he isn't.
