Nexus updates
Hey folks!
As promised, the farm map is now live within Nexus. When you enter your farm (or any farm) you'll now find that a small window will pop up showing the graphical map, along with two options that you can configure from within the Nexus Settings menu.
Along with this are some additional changes:
- Cities now display their full name in character creation.
- Added Kobolds to Nexus character creation.
- The Nexus interface skin now defaults to 'minimal' for Aetolia.
* This is only relevant for brand new players.
- Muting background music no longer sets all volume to zero.
- Added small animation for the gauge icon when it falls below 25%.
- Plus a few other minor fixes and tweaks.
Please let me know if you encounter anything strange or broken.
Thanks!

Second comment, directly related to this update:
In mobile mode, there is no way to move the map and you can't see all of it. However, CONFIG MAPVIEW ON also doesn't function in farm plots, so the farm map is very useful, versus having to use MAP every few rooms to check where you are/where your animals are in the ascii layout.
Solution for this: have the farm map propogate on the left hand margin of the screen.
(here are screen shots showing the problem)
I'll see what I can do about the farm map in mobile mode.
