sounds promising....Well thought through mock-ups give the idea a bug chance of success.
Not sure if this is a minor idea or not: I think it would be more helpful on the alliance map to replace the (imo) vague cloudy graphic with specific icons for towns and different sized forts. The tool-tips for those icons could simply state the town/fort name or (for bonus points ), display more detailed info. Toggling different viewing options would be possible via check boxes placed....somewhere....
