It seems the problem is close-areas related after all. Close-areas uses a tile index to find out what to do when it encounters a tile with *no* coastline at all (and your tiles do not have coastline on them). The tile index may indicate either land, sea, or "mixed". It returns "mixed" for your tiles. I am leaning towards changing this into "land" because your tiles are, from a "the coast of Ireland" perspective, clearly inland... any thoughts on that, Martijn (who invented the tile index)? My initial implementation of close-areas did create a blue background only if the tile index indicated "sea". It seems that meanwhile someone has added code to "guess" the background colour in cases where the tile index indicates "mixed". The guessing goes like this: * if none of the four tiles to the east/west/north/south of the tile is marked "land", then draw a blue background; * if among these four neighbours there are more water tiles than land tiles, then draw a blue background. It seems that most of the tiles in that area return "mixed" from the index so the first of these rules does generate a blue background.
