Give ghost image of land

I would really like to see a feature that when you are looking at putting down a totem you can place it temporarily as a ghost image - it will light up all the tiles around you that are covered by the totem's coverage....this way you know exactly where your borders are....

Allow you to increase the range as per increase of tribe - so that you can see how far you are looking if you already have lets say 15 personnel and you want to drop a totem and add those 15 personnel to the tribe once dropped...this way you know exactly how large the 15 tribe surface area is and you can drop your totem accordingly so you cover the terrain you really wish to cover rather than guessing where to put the totem and how far it will extend in each direction....

Another item I would like to see in the MENU OPTIONS - Grid overlay ON/OFF - I would like to see the squares/tiles of the land....I know there are spots as you do things they affect those spots....would be great to be able to see them visually.

I might be able to set up a visible grid option. I will look into that. I think it would show the grid for all the terrain though as I'm not sure if I could selectively render just a specific set of tiles with the grid easily.

I'd like to set something up to show the tribe boundaries but the tribe size does not match with the grid and would require some type of overlay. I've tried a large overlay before and it just didn't work right as it was too big to render properly for some reason. I'll look into this again though as I agree it would be helpful.

I'm marking this as accepted because I will at least attempt to implement this again.
