For those that switch sides looking for a target rich environment, the darbars on the map do not tell the whole story. Given that switching sides can make or break your limited playing time, it would help to be able to make a more informed decision.
Can the dar bars be made to correspond with the GUI colors chosen to represent the other countries?
That would let you know who's winning the battle and who needs help. I don't want to leave the high number country, only to join the hording side of another lopsided battle.
