I was under the impression that troops on the map were done to reduce das' workload, as all intelligent strategists would ask him where troops were stationed every turn. As has been said, stick with whatever is easiest for you, das. Its not like you're suffering from a lack of work 
I also support keeping the spotlight, since you asked for thoughts, as I enjoy the "personal" way its done. Much more like a story, as its longer, more involved, and leaves the "stat modifications" for the end (not that the same should be done in the normal events).

Agree about the spotlight. No real reason to get rid of it. Everything becomes sort of homogeneous without it... some events are more important than others and deserve greater detail.
What kind of crazy person just parcels their forces up into particular spots and tells them to defend that area, anyway? Zone defense FTW. That more than anything is why the map seems sort of useless to me...

2500th post! HOORAY! HOOOOOOORAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! 
From DIE
To Luca:
Congratulations, for both of us, on a job well done with Hellas. The trading and Daco-Lucan hegemony in Mediterranian is saved once again! Should we divide Hellas as our current troops are standing? We know that in our original plans DIE was supposed to get a bit more land, but we don't really care we can keep the land as it is, what matters is that the world no longer needs to suffer from Greek xenophobility. (OOC: also, andis, check your PM box)
***
And now, for a little celebration..
Leo Dicomes was sitting in one of the 2500 rooms of his huge palace together with his loyal assistant and the high priest of the Empire.
"Congratulations, high priest Molonik, on your new views on Dacoillyrian theology. Sounds marvelous!"
"No, sir, congratulations to you for the excellent job with Hellas! The xenophobic trade-damaging cancer of Mediterranian has now been eaten out, things couldn't seem happier.. I propose we have a huge ball here at your palace, and invite all your friends, to celebrate this marvelous victory!"
"What a splendid idea, my most trustworthy advisor! I shall invite all my friends, and there are lots of them... we are going to need 2500 bottles of good Illyrian wine!"
"Sounds great. But may I suggest, sir.."
"What?"
"We still have a lot of work to do. Our commercial hegemony in the Mediterranian won't keep itself up, you know, we must never rest in our diplomatic work, nor in building our marvelous juggernaughts."
"Yea, in a matter of fact I need to run to meet the Lucans and discuss Mediterranian issues further. We still have a lot work to do. What time is it?"
"Its 25:00, my lord."
"What, now that doesn't make any sense at all.."
"What can I say, we Dacoillyrians sure use a weird way to measure time", the high priest responded.
"We sure do", added Leo Dicomes, and they both laughed heartily for a time period of 2500 hundreds of a second.

@das, I think that troop positions are state secret and should not be revealed.. yes spies can find that out, but its not something other nations should know without using their spies and intelligence. Just my 2 cents on this, not a big deal though if you do decide to show troop positions on the map afterall.

As we had already argued about it and reached a decision almost a month ago, the complaints about the troop maps are a bit too late.
Some notes:
1) Not geographically or numerically accurate; in both cases, we have estimates instead.
2) Troops not shown are assumed to be spread out all over the country.
3) Fleets are nation-colour; black or white numbers mean troops belonging to the owner of and located in the closest coastal territory.

My Philippine Fleet appears to be missing (30 ships). Otherwise very nice, and somewhat revealing. Also, are you going to continue linking updates on the frontpage? It's fairly handy when they're collated like that.
[EDIT] Also, another quick question: government Efficiency costs aren't modified by Size?

@Das: Is it possible to have Khmerias fleets in a slightly more contrasting colour?

These troop positions are of course very handy for the player, but they are also extra work for the mod.

I don't like the troop maps, too many numbers, gets confusing.

Empire of Choson seems a little backwards to me. But the -ian is a little weird.

The black hand of death moved steadily south and as it did so, the weeping followed. Face-of-the-Sun paced the small courtyard that overlooked the roaring Urubamba River far below. This eclipse of the sacred Sun was terrible indeed, but he knew that it too would pass in time. The stories carried by the sun runners were gruesome and terrible. Death came without reason and not all were taken. His healers had no answers and often died themselves as the looked for clues. Many people were dying, but it was not the dying that worried Face-of-the-Sun; it was the loss. The dead took knowledge with them and left ignorance. Hadn’t the stone cutters of Quito all died? And half of the fishermen on the northern coast, he recollected.
The Huancacs were a fertile people and, in time would replace those now dying. But the Face-of-the-Sun with all his power could not easily replace what the yet-to-die might know. With quick commands his servants appeared and listened and departed. They carried an imperial decree to all those land not yet afflicted by the disease of the north. The guilds of the artists and craftsmen and other skilled people would be split and spread across different towns and villages throughout the land to perhaps lessen the loss of knowledge. All will teach and learn to spread what they know to others. The people may die, but what they know will not be lost. Face-of-the-Sun turned to watch the sunlit peaks all around.
