Regions Flashing

When I switch to certain map modes, some regions are flashing. In some cases, this would be the strategic cities...but, for example, when I switch to supply map mode, certain other regions are flashing...what is this telling me? Thanks.

IIRC, the flashing regions have depots.

there are about 7 or 8 different overlays.
IIRC
1: Loyalty - shows where who had 50% or more loyalty.
2: Supply amounts and regions passable for supply.
The rest are objective and strategic cities, regional ownership, states, grand regions, weather and I don't remember them all.
Just press <Cntl><1-9> to try them out one after the other.

Thanks. I understand what the different overlays are, just not why certain regions flash when that particular overlay is selected. I will look more closely at Gray Foxes tip that when the supply overlay is selected, the flashing regions may contain depots, that would make sense.

When you activate an overly, in the upper-middle of the map a text pops in for about 5 seconds saying which overlay is active. The blinking regions on each should be rather self-explanatory.

I have the game on right now, and the supply overlay does indeed cause regions with depots to flash.
(Fortunately, there is not a "Men in rain coats" overlay)

Yuck!
That's just wrong Gray Fox.
