And my random maps dont have any province borders, what am i doing wrong ?
I made a shortcut with only one item. --mapbcol 130 130 130 29
and yes the map had no borders. Iirc those numbers are red green blue and opacity (how see thru it is). When I changed 29 to 129 the borders showed up. It was ugly but they were there.

In addition, the command line switch seems to have a maximum lengths (windows-wise). The above line is as long as it gets. If i want to add richness etc presets, what would ineed to do (because the command switch itself cant have any more characters, windows will cut it off)
thanks
I had that problem. I had to split my game playing settings into a different icon than my map making (and another for MP). So I would split that stuff up into

--preexec backup.bat -w -r 1400 950 --magicsites 65 --indepstr 7 --eventrarity 2

and

--seapart 10 --mountpart 50 --mapgcol 50 100 50 250 --mapscol 20 50 80 255 --mapbcol 130 130 130 29 --mapsbcol 111 194 21 104 --mapaa --mapnoise 100

to two different shortcuts
