The new maps are wonderful, however, looking at them for a bit I noticed some issues that impede clarity of readability.
Here are suggestions for the new map, since there are currently some visibility/consistency issues:

First the issues:
-Portal stones, landmarks, battles, towns/villages have all the same shape, while cities have a square shape.
-Town/village/settlements and battle marker colours are, so similar that it's hard to tell the difference even after looking at them for a long time.

I'm not sure how many different shapes there are available to choose from but:

- Battles and towns/villages need a more distinct colour difference. Either battles pink or towns black as an example.
- All types of settlements should ideally have the same map marker shape (from cities down to hamlets).
- It would be best if portal markers and/or battles have a different shape than landmarks and/or cities/towns.

The first would already greatly improve readability, the other two are just for consistency so you know what you're looking at on first glance.

Just giving battles and settlements a different colour is a pretty good thing.
(i think it already looks a lot better)

With how it'll look in the future, it'll be even more important to have good distinctions. But that's something only time will tell.

Yes, we'll announce more on that front soon. We'll be looking for things that have seen fairly extensive, and public roleplay
