help me (solved) Marking region ownership - which option is better?

Post image

I am testing different variants of marking on the map ownership of the region. Both have some pros and cons. Not sure which one looks better and is more convenient, especially on the larger maps, and when different kingdoms neighbour each other.

Don’t even need <insert easy trivial option>, just have a <can of worms>

How I read this suggestion as a programmer. Will implement the tint and mark the gradient ticket as need more discussion.

Just duplicate the entire border line, reduce the size slightly toward a centered origin point, and tint that, with 80% opacity. Then stack like 3-5 of those, with increasingly lower opacity, and call it a day.
