The absolute worst part of this game, even worse than the bugs, is the multiple load screens whenever you enter the world map.
Having crusade mode as an elaborate physical board is a neat idea, but its not worth 5 seconds of loading every time. I feel like I'm being actively punished for wanting to take a direct role in the crusade instead of skipping. (also, why are crusade mode and world map separated by a load screen? They're the same map!!!!)
The worst is the fully rendered outposts. I dont give a sh*t how nice your 3D supply post looks, I'm only looking at it for 1 second between two 5 second load screens.
My favorite part of the map is the illustrated view of cities where you get to pick which zone you spawn into. The 2D map looks amazing and responds quickly. They should do the entire world map like this.
