Lord Crash - yes... but there's a new bug where all the information from the maps is gone. No country names, population, gold, research points... that's missing from the graphics of the map.
Just got this bug myself. Got it after loading.
Here is a screen shot.

I do like being able to see the map before committing to battle/autoresolve and most importantly before using mercenary cards.
Yes this is a good feature. Maybe a new card should be introduced to work with it. A "terrain advantage card" where you can change the map. Make it rare though.
