Hex grid (for 1.2, semi-urgent)

[Zhukov]

Personally I never player with hex grids. They come across as intrusive and borderline ugly.

However Eleazar's is a vast improvement over the current one. It doesn't totally dominate the map. It's a 'map with a grid on top'. As opposed to the current one which is a 'grid with a map underneath' if you get my meaning.

My 2c.

I think I'm going to kindly decline to take a stance on this issue; other than firmly reiterating that "Options are Bad".

I wouldn't be opposed to two different hex grids, since there seem to be two different schools of thought on the matter 1) those who want a thin and highly contrasty seperator 2) those who like the raised-edge/quilted effect which is far softer transition (and more pleasant on the eyes, IMO).

Barring that, a compromise somewhere between the two would be nice.
