From the screenshots at Illwinter's (can't find them now.. did they remove them ?), the D2 strat map got much improved over the Dom1 one : zoomable, and indicating fortresses IIRC and gold revenue (with a pile of gold).

It would be even nicer if we could directly see on the map the buildings, the defense level (with szay 1 militia icon/10 defense), and Lastly if the armies were represented by "real" counters instead of the rather ugly Dom1 semi-transparent NATO symbol...

What can we expect ?

I think that 'real' counters only would clutter the map, at least if want their number to be proportional to the size of the army present in a province. You can see temples as well as castles on the map.
