This would be nice to be able to see easily where you are in comparison to the rest of your guild, as well as when war breaks out, your closest enemy targets.

Sorry for typos. Couldn't see the dark font as I was typing

Oh how I have wished for this, too! To have a world view or at least several regions with even licensees squared colored according to diplomacy, would make global chat so Much easier to manage. It is hard to command guilds in war when you cannot quickly assign targets based on proximity. Perhaps not make it available umtil a player achieves scholars (cartography would certainly be the product of am advanced society) and perhaps open the scope according to development (culminating at it's greatest view when 43,399 jas been reached). I would be thrilled with a simple alternate view (ala TRIBAL WARS) just to get a greater view of the battlefield. Great game guys! Thanks!!

What about a new map altogether? As in you can still view the map the way we do know but instead of a pinch zoom just go with a set ration zoom option that you touch a "+" "-" button for.
So when we zoom out once it shows us an area twice the size we'd normally see. Icons should still be visible enough but if they aren't just remove any cities below 18k including barbs.

The next scope out can be a region view and instead of having to show individual cities it can appear as a population density in the colours guilds are set as in diplomacy (ie. red, blue ect). Again leave out barbs. These density areas could appear as pools of colour and to zoom in you could tap on a relative area.

The last scope could then be of the world and display 2 of the regions that make up each worlds width (eg R1, R2). From here we should be able to move the world around our screen and pick which region we want to view by touching it. Each of the regions on the map can appear as one solid diplomacy colour depending on who has the most control of that region.

Just an idea. I'd understand if they thought it would slow valor down too much.

Minimap perhaps?

But again the bigger the map the smaller the cities will get and you will probably not beable to see what you want anyway.

A whole region view would be nice to see what's around you easy.

Really like this idea!!

Solid suggestion. This is a personal crusade of mine. Give me zoom pinches or give me death.

Everytime I go to the map I keep trying to zoom out with the backwards pinch lol. We need a zoom out badly in this game.
