I'd like to be able to see just my cities on the strategic map. Other people may have more of a spatial sense than I do, but I struggle to figure out which city is more central, which is more eastern, etc. It would be cool to be able to check just "my cities" on the strategic map, as well as the current town, giving a better idea of the geographic relationship between the cities.

We used to be able to do this I also wish we still could. It seems odd that we can see city placement for entire alliances, but not for our own account, or other peoples accounts for that matter.

Thank you Alba, that really helps me understand. I don't think I'd realized that Gloriana was so far east.
You rock!

I meant to put this in the Suggestions forum. Luna, can you move it? Or Alba can tell us how he did that, and it can stay here.

How? Parsing the datafile_towns data history, and making it accessible in a HTML5/Canvas/JavaScript interface. I guess similar tools exist in most of the top-10 alliances.
Alternatively, you could feed X|Y points into a spreadsheet, and put them on an X/Y scatter graph. Add other locations that are meaningful, to give them context.

For any significant enhancement to this view, it becomes cheaper to rewrite it all in HTML5/Canvas/JS. |
