there are five different colors when you save a location on your map, why then are these same colors not color coded when you look at the mini map ?  If you save a grip point in green  shoudn't it be color coded in green on the mini map?

can we get less expensive "troop defense items", meaning something more affordable than Dogrish equipment?  say, in the Amarian type equimpment would be a little more in the affordable range for quite a few more players.

also i want to suggest that yielding rss on different tiles would provide different troop defense bonuses, yileding a food tile would have no defense bonus, lumber tile 5% defense bonus, rock tile 7% defense bonus, .. i think you get the idea.  I feel like those troops when not shielded are simply naked out there.
