Another vote for sov borders to be added back. Also, the right location display used to also show the resources/creatures but doesn't anymore, maybe that is what we are all really missing.

I never liked any of the old movement options. Nothing short of drag-n-drop gives any sense of proportion or relation. Dragging around my city enables natural spatial reasoning and is a lot easier on my noggin'.

I think pretty much everything looks great. I like the zoom adjustments a lot!
Just two concerns: a) I think it's a little tough to see the resource spawns on the map if zoomed out any appreciable distance b) i prefer moving the map one full page at a time, rather than a half page. I'm just being picky with this, as I find it easier to lose track moving at half pace than full pace when I circle my town looking for resources/npc's.
Overall, I salute you! Regards, Finrod

It could be my browser, firefox 5 now, or it could be my computer, 6 month old midrange desktop, but I now find it a lot harder to see some things on the map now. Both resources and NCPs are fuzzy and I can't make them out at all at max zoom out (with prestiege) even with everything else turned off. I have tried zooming in and out on my browser, thinking I might hit a sweet spot but that doesn't work. In general I like the changes, but for me in my present state of Illy development, still harvesting some resources and going after NCPs to level up my commanders, it is actually a downgrade as far as functionality is concerned. I have to actually click on the square to see what is there now, and before I didn't Is there any way, except using an old browser, of going back to the old map? Can I get a sharper view any other way? Thanks

I posted a petition on this, too, but I'll post it here in case anyone else is experiencing this:
I use the MOST RECENT version of Chrome, which I updated before I refreshed my display for this Illy update.
Now, the Next City/Previous City buttons seem to be working (partially), but the city NAME is not getting updated. If I select a city from the drop-down, it works, but then the Next City button doesn't, until I press Previous City first. But then the city name does not get updated again. Also, the numbers above each icon (showing how many buildings are under construction, inbound/outbound military/diplo/caravan, # of entries in the research queue) are not updating either.

I have a smilar issue, and I've also made a petition for it.
EDIT: It appears to have fixed itself...
Is anyone else getting stupid coordinate values when they zoom?

This has been resolved - refreshing the page should bring things up to date

Manda - the map is flipping back n forth with new and old graphics today. I suspect a lot of work and debugging is going on. :)
