Grid won't display in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

I recently turned down the anti-aliasing to 2x, so that the video wasn't all choppy and laggy. Now the map grid will not display properly in the zoomed out view. Some squares will show up, but in some areas either the vertical or horizontal lines go away (never both). Makes it very hard to navigate on the large view. Is this a problem with the anti-aliasing, or is it a problem with DA that I only just noticed?

I got to it fairly late, and only had one halfway decent planet with a free square. I suppose once the bonus got to 50%, I could sc

I played in a gigantic galaxy, got up to about 20 colonies, and never saw a bonus tile. That's a little ridiculous. I hope that if, in plain old GC2, I get a lot, the AI is also getting a lot of them, and using them correctly. I don't see any balance issue to that. Sometimes you get lucky, and sometimes you don't. Right now, I have about 15 utterly bland planets, all identical (plus 5 largish bland planets). Where will I build my manufacturing capital? Who cares, they're all the same. I
