(for the main post, please click here)
FULL SCREEN WORLD MAP & NAVIGATION Possibly the largest change with the new UIv4 is the world map as a permanent background in fullscreen. The existing UIv3 has a limited display area for the map, and it forces users with high-resolution monitors to play Illy with the actual game window significantly reduced into the corner of the screen. The new UIv4 allows full screen gameplay at any resolution, including 4K! [If you'd like to see what the game looks like with the new UI in 4K resolution, click here!] The map is also significantly larger; and the enhanced networking and distribution technologies in the background mean that it's also significantly faster to display and navigate. The map has a number of other features, including:

I am probably dense, but I can't find the button that centers the map on the currently active town. |

Won't work unless the town is presently displayed on the map.

Oh and the arrows allowing to move one half screen (N, NE, E,....) at a time is also no longer evident (it may have been deleted). But that is darn useful for me when scanning for particular resources. Center on town (that in the middle of the arrows), click say North 6 times, then East twice, and down South 6 Times. So long as you don't lose track of where you are in the count, you can quickly scan the map around your town.

Feedback - Trade units are displayed on new UI while moving, but disappear from it when they stop. Resource plots with 16 or more of a resource type show 16 less in new UI. eg the famous 25 food plot mountain in the rift (535|837) shows only 9 food the 19 food dolmen at 548|-167 shows 3 food the 16 food fresh water at 548|-179 shows 0 food the 16 wood dolmen at 537|-161 shows 0 wood 16... hmmm, perhaps someone had put a hex on them. Is this part of the new magics that are in the pipeline ?

Minimap looks much smaller on my laptop like below. Could it be possible to add an option to resize it or make it look like yours? |
