Nation name appearing over wastelands

[Dicentis]

I'm playing as Tunisia and trying to go for a series of conquests into Western Africa. I have recently finished conquering the Tuaregs, and I now own every province that borders the central sahara. This isn't really a problem but I would prefer it if in political mapmode my nation name could gloriously appear over the wasteland since I own every province around it, instead of having my nation name cramped in the closed space that is the Maghreb. More of a gripe, this is.

+1, I've wanted this since they added colored wasteland.

I don't think they ever needed coloured wastelands really, so long as they had this. If it went over single tile water too that'd be nice. Considering the trade map does all of this already, I don't see why the political map can't.

There's a mod for this, colouredwastelandsmod. Love it!

big names of trade nodes works only if they included the sea provinces, otherwise it's separated

Or they could, you know, just make the Sahara mostly not wasteland, as most of it was traversed for centuries or even millenia, just because the European's didnt colonize there during the timeframe doesn't mean it wasn't explored and settled.

Same with the multiple Amazon tribes that get excluded because of South America.

i saw some people talking about a way you can do it now by editing some option in a file. apparently its an option they put in but didn't put a button in for yet.

From what I understand while you can change wastelands to have your colour by changing the defines, someone said that it still does not extend your name across it.

 

[Redwallzyl]

you can ~own xxxx a wasteland though. try that.

this game is all about europe though; its why tech is everything europe or emulating europe.

also, people migrating and traveling through does not owned territory of a state of the european model make.
