Hi, Michiel here! After watching a few videos of people playing Powargrid, I noticed that they were often looking for a place they could place a certain building, moving the mouse around until they found a good spot where they could afford to build it. I've been working on this game so long, I mostly just know without even thinking about it -- so that was a good wakeup call that something could be improved there.
I'm now trying out a little visual aid, by highlighting the tiles you can build on and "lowlighting" (is that a word? de-emphasizing!) invalid tiles.
For me, it's REALLY weird to change anything to the core visuals after staring at them for years -- but I think this is going to be an improvement!
I've just set the new build live, so everyone should be receiving the new version shortly. Tell us what you think!

Turn based strategy. Explosions. A diverse cast of gelatinous characters.
Powargrid is a turn based strategy game that plays like a board game... with explosions!
Destroy your opponent's power plants and protect your own. Strike a balance between attacking, defending, and building your economy to control the board. Blast your opponent with shockwave towers or strike them from afar with the lightning cannon. Construct additional power plants to boost your power economy and extend your reach with substations. Is the situation looking exceedingly grim? Overcharge your power plants for a last ditch defense or a surprise attack!
In the story driven campaign, you will take on rival factions as a recruit in the Blue Blobbie army. Get shouted at by your lovable Commander Grak, face down Hero Archeologist Ford of the Red Blobbies, take on the mad green Zealot Zomg, and thwart the schemes of Chairman Swap of the Grand Yellow Blobbie Corporation. And rumors say that's not all...
Powargrid also features online and hotseat multiplayer, and skirmish battles against computer opponents. Difficulty can be set from "fair" to "let us know if you win because we sure can't."
