Include the default neutral values on the map images in the following places:

The Map's page in the foundry
The map image accessible through Game lists, Game Finder and Start Game screens

How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:

More than once, I looked through the map foundry to find out how many neutrals I'd be facing if I made an attack in a foggy game. Unless you parse through the XML, this information most of the time is not there. Instead, I have to hope that there is a sunny game that hasn't progressed too far that I can find through Game Finder.
If you're thinking that this isn't really a big deal, go play an AoR game and see how many different neutral values there are for territories out there beyond the few you can see in a foggy game.

also it helps, to know if the region adjacent to you has been assaulted

Good suggestion. Note that having this information also would help new players on some maps, who are trying to read the log in a fog game to find out what's happening.

Totally agree, been thinking this for a while was just too lazy to make the topic.

Didn't get what you were saying here at first, but great point.

Thanks for all the support guys! As it has been a month since the last comment, I figured I'd bump this.

Another month goes by, so I thought I'd bring this back to the top. I hate having to go look through Game Finder results to find a sunny game in which the territory I want to see hasn't been attacked by anyone.

I support this suggestion as well. Perhaps you could talk to the foundry people as well, because that's where a part of this suggestion is gonna take place anyway. Not sure if it would help, but you can always try.

This suggestion rocks.

I also support this suggestion. It would just be another two images to load (one large, one small) for the gallery, and would let people get a jump on trying to learn maps that are best played foggy.
