Follow-ups to above:
Q1. Hmm, if the indies aren't going to change, would it be possible to patch in a greyed-out "ghost" display, as a "last known recon" for previously explored provinces (this is more for the devs obviously
)? I see what you were going for there though. Still, I'm nervous not knowing what's in the province that's just 2 away from my castle.
Q2. Unfortunately my LCD only does 1280 max, but even that helped - turns out I was at 1024 by default.
Q3. I should've figured there was a counter (and a counter's counter I'm sure)! It's just that Banishment looked soooo powerful!
