WORLD MAP CHANGES Due to a number of on-going issues with the world map (e.g. alignment, performance, bugs etc.); we have changed the underlying technology we use to display it to HTML5 Canvas. Where this is not available in older browsers the previous world map will be displayed. (Internet Explorer needs to be version 9+ and Firefox 4+). Other browsers should work fine, including mobile devices; although please upgrade your browser if you do not see the new world map. These changes will allow us to more easily introduce features and well as improving the performance and responsiveness on players' computers. If you were currently logged in when the world map changes were put live you will either have to log out and log back in - or refresh you browser to receive these changes. Additional Information

Yup, we'll miss the bird icons. They were pretty good.

Yep, the bird icons were lovely. Anyways with the new visibility range we arent going to see many diplos around. Or are we.. ?

ok thanks a lot first of all GM ThunderCat for his help :)
Now the map zoom in - out is good even if when you go max out you cant see details :) About vans, diplo armies i liked the hard working donkey or the dove or the army image. :) Question : Before we could see our Army name and size of troops on the army icon and also our allies armies, shall this be fixed also on this map system?

I'm disappointed that the performance is still quite poor (perhaps not if I had Vista+ with hardware compositing for browser hardware rendering). Nevertheless, this is a vast improvement.
I have noticed a couple issues already, and will raise petitions for them. I repeat them here so you might get fewer duplicates from others: 1) The strategic map doesn't update position as you move around. 2) The screenshot utility doesn't quite work because the image urls are unreachable. 3) Edited by HonoredMule - 09 Aug 2011 at 17:25 |

Does the range of seeing diplomatic units only emanate from the town or do Sovereign squares have a range of their own?
