Periodically if I esc to the options menu and save the game then return to the map, it shows the base ground rather than the cloth with no features other than fog of wall and my stacks. Have to return to options, unclick only cloth map and reclick for it to be back to usable. 

On a further point, with the graphics load, is there any chance of seeing a clothe map only load option that simply turns off all normal graphics to save on system resources. I know several players play cloth map only to save resources, I do to too but I also like the feel of camera 3 on cloth map like a king looking at a map directing troops, and I am color blind so it is clearer for me to see if something is a glowing notable site or a snowtopped hill on cloth. Anyway when you guys bring the multiplayer servers online, I expect a lot of players will care less about pretty over performance.

PS: Spotting beaches on clothmap is at best awkward
