changedTerritory Painting Layers 🎨Previously, by painting you always overwrote both the owner and the rightful owner, unless the nations were at war. Now there are two layers to paint for: Owner and Rightful Owner
changedTerritory Painting Layers 🎨Like the tooltip says, most of the time you want to keep both these layers on to paint normal land changes. But if you want to paint occupations, or rightful territory for one nation, or more concrete preset revolt borders, these layers become quite useful.
changedTerritory Painting Layers 🎨Here's another showcase of the "Rightful Territory Paint Mode" that appears when you only have that layer on. Don't get it mixed with the Diplomatic Map Mode !
addedTerritory Painting Layers 🎨This should make painting with the new rightful territory system much easier. Also check out what else changed with this update!
removedAdditionsExpanded Territory Painting by dividing it to the Owner and Rightful Owner layers. You can paint both at once or only paint one of them for more precise occupations Note!: Painting for nations currently at war no longer automatically paints occupations. You must use the correct layer
addedAdditionsAdded a confirmation before saving a scenario for deleting any dead nations with rightful territory but no rightful cities

Here's another showcase of the"Rightful Territory Paint Mode"that appears when you only have that layer on. Don't get it mixed with the Diplomatic Map Mode!
