Re: The map that will never be
Here's one voice for dashed borders. I think they look better.

I think the dashed borders stand out better, which I rather like.

Re: The map that will never be
I have no preference for either. If I had to choose I would base it on zoom out definition.
By that I mean I zoom out frequently and I stop zooming out when province definition and/or detail is no longer discernable.

Re: The map that will never be
Interesting. I always play really zoomed in.
I wonder what that says about our personality types.  |

Re: The map that will never be
I play zoomed in also. I think its the RPGer in me. If I was more of a statician player then Id probably always be zoomed out.

I'm almost always playing at the default zoom rate, when the sprites on the map are at the same size as on the unit list in the left. Maybe zoomed-out people need the view to get the feeling that they're really watching their people from above? |
