v1.3 brought with it some major changes in how maps are loaded and displayed. While this has lead to better graphics, colourised territories, and will allow us to easily provide multiple maps, the initial cut has a slight performance hit as compared to previous versions. This is noticeable when scrolling around a map other than at the default level (there is a very slight lag). It appears to be more evident on older hardware. While this doesn't really affect game-play, we take such matters very seriously. We want your experience to be perfect! In addition the initial load time has increased as the app has more work to do to process the map data.

We've been hard at work optimising these issues away and have made some headway. According to current trials the lag has been cut to about 30% of current levels, and we believe we can improve further still. And we should be able to cut the initial load time to under two seconds (most of which is just loading the app itself anyway).

Once this work is finalised we'll be putting out a 1.3.1 release. We expect to submit this within the next week.
