Ho to avoid "dots" on fattened territories?: 2025-07-19 16:54:39

Hi everyone,

I made my new map, and I realized that when a territory was weak and I made it thicker (to make space for the number on it), it automatically made some dots into the territory. How to remove them?

You can't remove the dots. The dots are everything.

Zoom on for example, Kalinigrad, you see some dots there, which I want to remove.

Those appear to be leftovers from the army-number circles you used to decided how big the territory should be.
As such, I suspect these are in the SVG somewhere.

If you delete those circles from the SVG file, WZ should no longer show them either.

Let me know if that does the trick.

I made territories thicker like:

1. Duplicate circle Ctrl+d
2. Select Circle1+Territory and click Path>Difference (this deleted circle1)
3. Select Circle2+Territory and click Path>Union (this made Circle2 into Territory)

I don't know how did those dots come there, but must be because of the circles.

Thank you JK, I removed dots!

But here is another problem, I already renamed the territories and their IDs too from "path" to "territory" and it doesn't chance it to territories. What should I do?

its supposed to be Territory_XXXX (so with capital and with underscore), did you include those too?

Most of the actual fixing of these issues happened in global chat, so for struggling mapmakers finding this forum later, I'll include a summary below.

I made territories thicker like:

1. Duplicate circle Ctrl+d
2. Select Circle1+Territory and click Path>Difference (this deleted circle1)
3. Select Circle2+Territory and click Path>Union (this made Circle2 into Territory)

I don't know how did those dots come there, but must be because of the circles.

Fix:
1. Select the path with the dots
2. Do the [Path > Break Apart] action (Ctrl + Shift + K) to split the territory border and the dots inside of it
3. Delete the unwanted dots

Oh sh*t I forgot, I have to rename all :( thanks

You can rename all the shapes at once:
1. Do Ctrl + F to open the search/replace panel (or open it via Edit > Find/Replace)
2. Set "Search in" to "Properties"
3. Make sure you have the right selection (in this specific case, "All" worked, but normally you want this to only apply to paths that are territories)
4. Enter the thing you want to replace and what to replace it for (note for any newbies: this can be used to rename all "path1234" to "Territory_1234" too)
5. Hit Find and confirm it located selected the correct objects
6. Hit Replace all

Thank you JK for summarizing and helping.

I am Adam, so making a map mustn't be smooth and problem free. Another problem showed up. I added every bonuses nd named them as "BonusLink_(bonus name)". The IDs were like that. After, I uploaded it to WZ and it didn't show up the bonus circles. Why is this and ho to fix them?

Did you write the bonus name in the map designer ?

No, I wrote them to the IDs.

I created 4 maps, but unfortunately I forgot these things, the last map I published was 7 months ago...

I just don't remember, and cannot search them out from the previous SVG files.
