First, I've said this on the test server forums, but I want to say it again here. The amount of space lost in the map change is just unacceptable. I've tested the 'fixed' version on the test server and I am still out ~8 spots for MagRes that should fit. Meaning that I can place 4-6 Nobles in the same space, but I can't place the MagRes. With the Elite troop requirements it just makes keep up 2 armies (or 3 if you pvp) far harder than I think they intend. With the recruitment times on Elites switching between Regular Troops and Elite Troops can take a week of nothing. That just makes the game so boring.
I really hope that this is just a band-aid temporary solution while the map is actually fixed so that buildings, namely MagRes, fit where they should and use to fit. And I hope that a real fix is deployed this summer and not next year or some crazy amount of time.
The map change is the single most frustrating change in the game since I've been playing.
Second, I agree with many people, |sarcasm| it's nice to see that BB is fixing things that no one asked for |sarcasm|. Here's a great list of things many players would like http://forum.thesettlersonline.com/t...Needful-Things. So many great suggestions that would make the game significantly more enjoyable to play.
That's my 0.02
