Auto-tiling or manual?

[Hobbun]

I was just curious what eveyone's method is in drawing in your tiles. Do you use the auto feature or do you manually do it yourself?

Myself, I enjoy the cartography of the game, but I am lazy so I use the auto feature. There are of course exceptions when I draw in a tile, but for the most part, I walk them all out.

What about everyone else?

I started out drawing everything by hand (although I still had the auto-map thing on). It appeared though that FOEs are only shown on the map on squares that I had actually stepped on. So now I only draw the walls and icons and leave the coloring to the auto-map.

I read that EO2 has strafing (L and R buttons, to take a step sideways without turning). That will make checking walls for passages a lot quicker.

I wonder if anyone has ever played through a whole game with the automap feature off, and not using the stylus to draw in the map at all on the touch screen... pure immersion with the 3d portion on the top screen. Would be torture for me

Technically though that would just be juicing your memory into overdrive and making a map in your mind, instead of on the DS... like being adamant about memorizing 50 phone numbers instead of storing them in your cell phone... really no point

If people don't use the automap feature that's practically just a waste of time to click over to the floor paint tile every now and then and just color in where you step... unless there's some other inherent aspect that people are begging to work with.
