Major Release 14SEP10 - World Topography

I hate to say it but the map looks like crap.   Secondly, you said squares within 5 squares of your cities wouldn't change, which they have.   I settled my last city with plans on it for soveriegn squares, its still a small city so I never claimed any of the squares yet.  Of the 5 squares I was planning on using only 1 is left and the others are now all useless for the plans I had.  Maybe a heads up that only the squares directly around the city would have been in order so I could have claimed the squares before you went ahead with the map change would have been nice.   And again the map looks terrible to me, all I see is a big green clump around my cities where there use to be mountains and hills.

I guess it makes sense and it's somewhat nice for the defender (if they settled it for the defensive bonus, that is)... although, I can only assume it's going to get a bit weird for the attackers.
I mean, an attacker that won't have a clue what terrain bonuses they're going to get there unless they attack first with a probe army (since a city might have, say, plains bonuses yet be listed as woods on the map, which totally changes the ranged/cavalry expected bonus spread around, from one extreme to the other).
