Gandalf, might I suggest 0xb43c00 for the land border color? It corresponds to Red 180, Green 60, blue 0, and is a nice reddish color, close to red brick. It wouldn't be quite as painfully bright as the current red border, but it will be clearly visible.

Thanks. that maximum red was the original setting and I kept meaning to soften it. The MapEditor has a preference for red borders. I did do some experimentation to get a watery border which was better but still has enough red for the editor (I think, I havent tested it).
Of course anyone who wants to download/play with the program now can use the switch of -c_land_border 0xb43c00 that Leif put in to override that red. But I think you are probably correct that the default should be something along the line of what you said.
How about swamp? I wanted to get it abit more sick-green and easier to tell apart from the plains and farmlands.

If the borders can be set to be discrete (no color diffusion toward the edges, or is that just the effect of saving the files to jpg?), it will do the job wonderfully.

Thats the JPG effect.
