Dear Moderator, reading all these comments it is clear that the classic map has to be improved asap...I can see hardly anybody playing it anymore, too...I guess an announcement on what and when this is going to happen would help this discussion...Thanks!

The new (classic) map looks now very difficult to see, especially on small handheld devices.

Suggestions:

Group what would beofre be seen as a continent closer together and further away from others.
Colours between what earlier would have looked like Africa and what would have looked like Asia ...
