Do you use Gridded Terrain mod

I use it - to me it's just a quicker way of gathering the same information anyone else could get by panning at eye level. I don't see it as gamey. In real life you would have shadows from trees cast across folds in the land which the game doesn't depict. Actually I use it as much for estimating distances (20m tiles) as for folds in the land.
