Map has too much going on/UI issues

[Hallon]

As seen in the below picture, there are too many things going on. For example, my Irish shield is placed on top of my captal castle of Cardigan. Assuming you're aware of this issue, you need to click 1 cm away on the map to actually hit the castle's hitbox, otherwise you just open up your character view.

In another game the shield placement also led me to believe another holding on the map was my capital, so I spent money upgrading that instead of my capital.

These icons are also an issue at war, as troop numbers are added into the mix, and shields can hide those numbers as well.

At the very least there needs to be a less-detail mode, like in Stellaris, with an easy hotkey toggle, like ALT for on/off. Regarding the shield, it might be better to simply display it to the left of the capital's name, and move the name back up just below the holding.

The way the shields are positioned so they often float above a different realm/county is a mite annoying definitely.

I think a details toggle like Stellaris is a good idea. I mean, I always have details on - and I would here too - but more options to the player to give the player they experience that works best for them is always something I would like to see.

The chaos of war. I don't know the name of the holding, and I can't tell where the town is. Am I sieging something?
