NorOps map survey

I'm sitting here working on NorOps, and have found myself giving the land layer with all its labels denoting towns, districts, villages etc. another go. The question I've started asking myself, though, is that since 90+% of the labels are eye-candy only and do not really show you the location of anything worthwhile (if anything at all),

So without further ado, the choices are:
  1. Apply colour change to industrial ports and military harbours only. This'll mean that only the ports containing significant numbers of ships, as opposed to only scattered fishing boats or nothing at all, change colour from green to red/blue as the conquest of Norway progresses. In-land towns, villages, districts et al remain neutral green throughout the entire conflict.
  2. Apply colour change to all labels, which means every single label, regardless of whether or not it denotes the location of in-game content, will be coloured by IFF: Red for Allied and Green for neutral or German.
I'm leaning towards #1 myself, mostly because it'll make it easier to find the important ports amidst all the irrelevant eye-candy only labels. [Lazy and busy]It also means less work for me[/lazy and busy].

#2 will be nice in a way as it'll allow you to follow the progress of on-land fighting in addition to merely the going of the naval war and the taking of the naval bases and major cities. [Lazy and busy]It'll also mean a bucket-load of more work for me[/Lazy and busy]. I will not colour anything you can't dock at blue as it'll allow you to to dock almost literally anywhere in the country, even in-land (leading to a swift death upon the start of your next patrol).

Voting for leaving the map as is, without a ton of unnecessary labels denoting things that aren't really there... is not an option. There will be a "lite version".
