HTML5 atWar Map Viewer

Some of you may have already heard the rumours that we're planning to convert atWar to HTML5.
Well, that is all not true... Just kidding, we've actually been quite busy for the past months doing just that (hence the infrequent updates!)
So now, finally, everyone gets a chance to have a sneak peek at our progress. Let me introduce you: the atWar Map Viewer in HTML5! All the maps in player profiles are now clickable, as well as the 'Top maps' on the homepage.

For example, World Map: http://atwar-game.com/map

The new map viewer was tested and should work in the latest versions of Chrome, Firefox and IE (including on tablets and smartphones).
Let us know what you think about it, especially in terms of performance (don't forget to mention your browser & device if you do).

UPDATE: On another news, CWs can now be hosted in the Casual CW room.

Xenosapien Stalins Martians Berichten: 2102 Van: UK	25.10.2013 - 14:17 Xenosapien Geschreven door Guest, 25.10.2013 at 10:53 Works great in Safari 7. Also I want to point out that the html5 process has very little battery impact. It adds about .5 energy impact to add this safari process (albeit it is just running a vector map) But that is a lot less compared to the 57.47 energy impact that the silverlight plugin uses in AW. this make playing at cafes and on batteries much better, and if/when its ported to smartphones/tablets If it doesn't kill their batteries. That is very good! Greta work Amok. I noticed a faint gray line that sometimes appears to run through middle of greenland as wells. There's one visible around russia: Ural as well Laden... Laden...

I discovered those lines months ago, there are actually 3, one close to Hawaii, one that cross Greenland, Brazil and other countries of america, and the last in Russia, Pakistan. Also there is another curiosity about those lines, if you do a wall and you have one of those lines between the units, that wall is going to have a small bug, it dont really affects the gameplay. ---- I dont understand why people says that Full Package is too expensive: http://imageshack.us/a/img854/6531/fzhd.png "I...

Cthulhu The Call of Cthulhu Berichten: 1243 Van: USA	27.10.2013 - 11:37 Cthulhu I like it, but i agree with vril on the mouse-wheel zoom being rough: It not as smooth as silverlight.

Xenosapien Stalins Martians Berichten: 2102 Van: UK	27.10.2013 - 11:55 Xenosapien Lol I don't really like the modern 'crisp' look you see everywhere, I find it too simplistic. And the mouse scroll isn't just too rough but too slow. Laden... Laden...

VRIL Dalmati Berichten: 1090	30.10.2013 - 07:49 VRIL It is way smoother and zoom is focussed at the cursor. But the zoom acceleration is not as high as in SL. So it is smooth now but slow. Laden... Laden...
