This is a suggestion out of laziness...

is it possible to group people, armies, cities in to folders by alpha int he KMLs? ie everyone who's name starts with A gets put into a folder "A" then you can expand that to find what you are looking for..

With all the people in this game, the list is long, and annoying to find people...

again, I realize on the scale of suggestions this should rank pretty low ...

You can do that yourself by creating folders within the kml files, and dragging who you want into individual folders.

But when you get new people you would just have to keep dragging them into the folders. Considering how many members this game has and keeps getting, it would be a waste of time, especially the short amount of time you would save by having 26 folders.

I dont know about everyone else, but every once in a while I have to re-download the KML files. spending any significant time to sort things would be taunting Murphy just a little too much.
