As many of you have noticed the original classic map has been revamped into a distracting and hard to read product. There was nothing wrong with the original map. Please join me in signing this petition to change it back.

Thanks Yeti, It does not seem to have caused much of a stir as i heard and saw nothing... were images posted and so-forth?

[Dangerous-Die]

81% say no so far

it just looks awful man.
To bright colours, to flashy
let's get the old version back.
Next time you wanne update something at least do a poll in the general discussion and let the majority decide.

[negoeien]

please put me on that list.
I just played three classic turns.
Made me seasick, the brightness is killing the map.
Not to scone at the mapmakers but it should've been an update, which normally makes something better.
I guess you failoed this time

Is the foundry digging its heals in? is something happening?

OK, there is a lot of shouting going on, but not a lot of discussion.

We hear you, really we do!
We have already started changing some of the biggest concerns and are hoping to have some options later in the evening or tomorrow.

We need to get everyone in one place and actually discuss specifics with you all though, so pretty please, head over to the original revamp thread in the foundry so we can figure out WHAT to change.

The changes were made for a reason - a lot of our color blind or vision impared players were having problems with armies on the old map so we had to make changes to accomodate them. Obviously we don't want to alienate everyone else and there has been a lot of outcry over this, so, help us find a solution that works for everyone.

Don't just scream bloody murder. "It sucks, change it back" doesn't help because we can't ignore the needs of the group which initially prompted the change.

Join us in the Foundry to discuss exactly what sucks about it so we can fix those things while keeping the needed changes for those who were having real difficulties before.

We'll get it fixed so that everyone is happy as soon as we can, but we need your help!
