2) Draw the borders.

I read somewhere that this wasn't strictly necessary in dom2 and Sabers instructions for creating a map file for all units doesn't seem to contain any instructions to put in borders. How does it work?

Help appreciated.

You don't need borders, except for the players

Actually, the devs say borders (with a certain color) are used by the game for neighbour-guessing when using the "new map"-option, or when starting "guess neighbours" with the map already loaded into the editor.

But I found this neighbour-guessing the one and only secure way to make DOM crash .. so maybe it doesn't work that well

Simply use a transparent layer, a sharp-edged brush and a color of your liking and start drawing borders. Doing this on a seperate layer makes corrections and alterations much easier .. and you don't have to reload the map if you really screw up with a painting tool - the landscape in the background will be nice and unharmed.

Unless you merge layers accidently
