First and foremost, I'd like to express my appreciation for the new "pin" feature. It is a very convenient way to mark your key areas of operations, and quickly jump to the various battlefields of an expanding empire without having to zoom and scroll around the map all the time. Thanks to the devs for designing a really neat feature!
Having said that, there's also some room for improvement:
- It would be nice to be able to change their name. The three-letter codes can be really obscure, especially for units (People think of their units as "that big tank stack in Mongolia", and not as the "9th medium tank division", let alone "BQ9"), but for provinces as well ("SHI" stands for "Shillong", but to us it is really about "The battlefield in Burma"). A few more positions than three would also be nice; I think 8 would fit in the current screen estate for it? As it is, my "FL16" unit is already clipped to "FL1".
- Could it be possible to pin enemy stacks as well? I'd like to jump to some doom stack invading me. I realize there's a problem because you shouldn't jump to it if it isn't currently in view, but I'm sure that wouldn't be too hard to fix.
- I'm working on several computers, and the pins don't "port" between them, meaning I have to set and maintain pins on all of them. Apparently they're stored in a cookie or local storage; but would it be very hard to move the system to the server side, so it doesn't matter from where I'm playing?
- Maybe the widow could be resizable vertically, so more than a few pins can be displayed at once?

When the fake daddies are curtailed, we have failed. When their roller coaster tolerance is obliterated, their education funds are taken by Kazakhstani phishers, and their candy bars distributed between the Botswana youth gangs, we have succeeded.
- BIG DADDY.
