Region labels

[liberation]

Any chance of adding label support for regions in the same format as countries labelling?

Including borders of the regions, would be nice, indeed.

you can add borders with more polylines but they are indistinguishable from country borders (only one color) and for the current regions they are frequently in water

Still think that labels for regions would be very useful for modders as any new regions added to the globe are very hard to find, especially if your using graphs to track alien activities!

One possibility would be, to make them switchable, like the country borders, but with another switch, independend from country. So you could have one of them, or both, or none. Would that be possible, from an engine point of view?

Frankly I can't see the need; it's not like people don't know where Pacific Ocean is.

Oh wait, what about the Mars project?

[7Saturn]

Everybody knows, where Terra Meridianis borders are.

I didn't think about it all until after finishing the regions and looking at the graphs and thinking, nice that works then... but hold on... where the bloody hells Arabia terra??? lol

Really need labels for anywhere but earth i think, landmasses are all well and good if you know the planet

For the time being you can try to have both regions and countries with the same borders, with the country labels having the region names instead. Afterwards you can use the cities to help players find the country, so if you have Marsec as a country you could name its cities as Marsec HQ, etc. But this depends on the country system you want to implement.

Think this is what will need to be done for now, or each region has its own city regardless of countries or allegiance.
