Mind you, this time you will have to color ALL countries. I actually started this project months ago,
by using a Internet service to generate a 50 color pattern of unique colors. My idea was to use that
pattern of colors three times, for Europe, Africa and Asia, in such a smart way as not to get adjacent
colors alike. Today a map can turn up anywhere on the World Map BG, but you know that already!

Why so many colors? It is mathematically proven that you need just 4 colors without adjacent countries having the same color.

That's very true, but to me that looks damn repeated. You can add a couple more
and get an even better case, but STILL damn repeated. So, I used that service to
get a whole bunch more, just for the case I could do it!

@orucovic

Probably, as it is created by a member of the Promods team, which uses vector based BG,
so as to be able to hide their mapping mistakes by dragging those lines to cover them! My
two cents!

EDIT: That's also why they can't produce a satellite based BG! Can't be handled in vector
form!

It's that one to be exactly: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/ ... 2486307769

And yes... it's hand-dragged and optimized for PM; but it's the only background who will outline my combo in the most correct position. (also Middle-East and Red Sea)

That's with BenganJs BG (even when his projection is correct):

That's with the PM one - Here you can see align errors in Turkey (much more than in BenganJs version):

@Shiriru94

Sure, it looks good, but is a damn cheat all the way! Enjoy!

EDIT: I already explained the PMME debacle that Promods
did by telling Platypus to re-locate his map in the wrong
direction, but if that's what suits you, I don't care at all.
