Re: Questions (yes, I\'ve read the FAQs)
could be a bug in the demo I suppose.. not sure. Works fine for me. Just to clarify, in combat you're going to options and then making sure the "Show Grid" option has a green ball in it?

Any idea why the grid isn't showing for me? (Or is it a restriction in the demo?)

You might need to move the viewing window (click on the map in the bottom right)
That will force it to refresh the screen, and the grid should show up.

#10 - If 30 turns seems to short (or too long) you can go into the Settings.txt file and change the value up or down to your preference.

6. I'm aware the manual for the full game is sparse but just how many pages is it?
|
116 pages, more than twice the page count of the original, with a great deal more detail.
The only time I've been able to see the grid at all was over the planet in Tactical Combat.

Re: Questions (yes, I\'ve read the FAQs)
Not seeing the grid could very well be a monitor problem.
My old monitor recently died and with it, I had to turn all the lights off in the house to be able to see the grid at all!
My new monitor picks them up fine even in broad daylight.
Try the "total darkness" thing first to see if you can find the grid. If that doesn't work, then yes, there may be a bug.
