Label on story
I'm having semi-dynamic big map and I was wondering if there is a way to put text on the bigmap somehow. I would like to name places just like you can name places with [label] in scenario maps. I could make images of the text and use the [image] but that is more troublesome than I'm looking for. At least the API doc doesn't mention [label] or similar in the [story] tag.
edit: also is there a way to highlight image in story?

Re: Label on story
As far as I know, you'll have to do it the hard way. The bigmap utils for campaigns like Liberty or Heir to the Throne apply images to X/Y co-ordinates on a background overlay, so I suspect that's just how the engine works.
Making a few transparent text images and then placing them over the map shouldn't be too troublesome though, and it looks like a small definition.

Re: Label on story
This sounds like a great idea which probably wouldn't be too hard to implement.
Re: Label on story
I did it the hard way. I made 6 images with titles but my plan is to have random generated place names. Even if there is a ready pool of names to pick one randomly, I should have at least 50 place names. Doing 50 images is starting to get into labor so if devs can add label into story I would be super happy.
