Mystery attribute

Does anyone know what this attribute is in version 13 (latest build).
Usually it is just grey in the attribute manager and it doesn't do anything if you click on it.
No mention of anything in help either that I can see.
Just curious.

You use that box in case of brightly colored blob attack.

Hi Barry,

I prefer Dwight's explanation, but that tab is actually for the MEP attributes.

No, I have zero idea how that icon relates to MEP at all, or which of blue, red or yellow is M, E or P ... maybe in Hungarian. 😉

Cheers,
Karl

Thanks Karl.
I didn't even know I had that loaded.
I think I would prefer blob attributes though.

If you have the MEP addon then you will see the attributes as shown.

The colored blobs of the MEP tab symbol look a lot like the continents on the Cities tab to the left.
