Hmmm..the old one was....better...
I don't want to be a stick in the mud, but the castles and villages look less like castles and villages and more like app icons on an ipad.
The people are just dots, and their names don't show...forcing you to mouse over each and every one instead of getting all that info at a glance.
HOWEVER the new menus and organization is a nice improvment.
my 2 cents!
