Race Spread Mapmode & "Protect Our People" CB

[Nussor]

As soon as empires start opening their borders or conquering a couple of systems, it gets really difficult to keep track on which race lives on which planets. This often bugged me, especially when I'm not playing the Hegemonic Imperialist type of empire, because it becomes very difficult to "liberate" the correct planets. I wish for some means to keep track of who lives where.

That said, a "Protect Our People" CB and relevant event warnings would be a very cool addition. Case example: you have opened your borders to a weak Federation Builder that gets swallowed by a Fanatical Purifier or Slaving Despot and now millions of your race are in danger of being enslaved or killed. This should trigger some popups and give you a CB against any empire that commits atrocities against your people.

Definitely would be interesting but I'm curious on how the map mode would operate. It could work similar to the Diplomacy map mode in EUIV (click the empire and it would target it and contested territory would have striped lines). However, what if a planet has three different species?

Probably with a species tab from which you could select one to show its spread.

I think it would work similiarly to political mapmode - every planet has it's influence sphere and the colour of it depends on which species have most population (more than half). If it is a draw, colour would be striped.
