ok  bit of a conundrum about this file

israel has one, but none of the other terrains do even though their ini files point towards it by default,

does anyone know what it does .....i mean i can see it defines where the countries and areas in the limited Nations file are located but i am wondering how exactly the game uses it

i am figuring that red is nation 1 and green is nation 2, mustard yellow is nation 3 ect but im not sure

and since i only have examples of 11 colours, if i was to make one for the Germany terrain (witch has 12 locations) how would i know what the last colour should be so i can add the missing ones like Denmark and italy, can i use just any colour or does the game read a certain pallete that i am not privy to?

I wouldn't even worry about it. IME is the only one, of ALL terrain -stock and add ons- that has one. And they all work fine. 

Trust me

As far as I understand the location map either 1) is not fully implemented, 2) doesn't work or 3) is a deprecated test to avoid assigning things manually to a region in the TARGETS file.

What it supposedly does is redundant with the Location key of a TargetArea definition in the TARGETS file.

well i created one for all my terrains anyways ....be interesting to see if it affects anything

if it dosnt no harm done ....if anything i can make use of it as a reference

from what i can see though each colour directly correlates to a nation number,, would still love to know what colour palette can be used for that and the sea map, so far i only got 12 colours

anyone know any way of finding out?
