Color Highlighting of Parcels and Expeditions

As you move your mouse around, each parcel of land is highlighted by a color indicating who owns the parcel.  You can use this color-coding to locate neutral land to invade, to avoid trespassing on land owned by other colonies, to locate land owned by enemies you are at war with, and to keep track of land that you own or your allies own.  Here is a summary of the color coding scheme:

COLOR HIGHLIGHTING	MEANING
	Your colony owns the parcel
	The parcel is neutral and may be invaded by anyone
	The parcel is state-owned and may not be invaded by anyone
	The parcel is owned by another colony and may only be invaded when that colony is logged in
	One of your allies owns the parcel
	One of your enemies that you are at war with owns the parcel.

COLOR HIGHLIGHTING OF EXPEDITIONS:
Expeditions are color coded in exactly the same way as parcels.  Only the text on the expedition is colored, not the entire expedition.

OPTIONS FOR HIGHLIGHTING:
If you click on the GAME SETTINGS button, there are several options available for how to highlight parcels.  You can set it to always highlight all parcels you own (which is turned on by default).  You can set it to always highlight all parcels owned by other colonies.  You can set it to always highlight the center parcel in your view (which is turned on by default)

SAFE ZONES:
Some state land is further designated to be a SAFE ZONE.  These areas are primarily located in towns.  Unlike other state land (such as roads, etc.), Safe Zones are regions of the world where expeditions are protected from attack by other colonies.  The only expeditions that may attack each other while in a SAFE ZONE are colonies that are at war.
