I cannot find any mention in the manual of the meaning of flashing red regions.
Selecting the Strategic Cities button above the minimap shows my regions (Caesar) in red - but some are flashing red and I don't understand why. They are under my control and have been for some time (some for my whole game so far) and loyalty is all in my favour - sometimes (often) 100%
So - what is the meaning of the flashing red and why isn't it mentioned in the manual (and if it is - please feel free to enlighten me because I've searched on a load of criteria and none of the entried that came up mentioned anything about this flashing red region).
Fantastic game by the way. By far the best of the ones I've had. Very immersive - and this in an era that I have no idea about!

you see it only in a short on screen tip, i believe:
plain colored are STRATEGIC TOWNS,
pulsating areas are OBJECTIVES
color depends on factions color. I will put your post to the area for improving the manual

Thank you - someone else mentioned similar on the Matrix forums - and I noticed after that that the flashing ones mentioned Objective Towns as well as Strategic Towns
It could do with being in the manual...I was really baffled. Section 4.6 would be a nice place to mention it (where it mentions what the Strategic Cities" button shows you :-P)

yeah, thats the dark red. but if you apply the filter (key 3) you get [color="#FFD700"]a brief white message on the top of the screen,[/color] explaining the difference of the filter.
the background color is then the same than used for the military control filter/faction.
