I understand why you made this decision, but I do not have to agree.

This might become part of my own backstory.

But we must continue, this week picking between something charmingly ever-changing and something perfectly static and reliable.

What’s better: dynamic music, or hex grids?

Music which keeps going as it morphs into another song between rooms.

Music which slips in a fanfare when you do well.

Music which feels as alive as the game world.

How sad when they switched to pre-recorded CD soundtracks.

I understand how this will work.

I know which hexes are adjacent.

I know how far away every hex is from every other hex.

I can calculate my weapon ranges or adjacency bonuses or movement or logistics or captures or whatever with ease.

Everything will just work.

The worst of both worlds.

Also, a hex grid looks like it’s from the future, not a maths exercise book.

But which is better?

My practical side knows hex grids are the answer.

My excitable side knows dynamic music is the answer.

I can’t choose.

This one is all on you, reader dear.
