OK so a summary what this mod does, it adjusts graphics in alot of ways. Recommended as standalone mod. It also adjusts different things to improve the experience and with that said not just graphical but wont be mentioned although there will be made smaller packages for people that wont be able to run this mods graphics textures. But do want the features the mod has.

Lighting, shadows, trees, ground, terrain, water, effects, musket smokes and arrows. (higher resolution textures 2k are primarily used), clouds, accessories used by settlers, minimap, amount of sounds played at the same time (YOU WILL LOVE THIS FEATURE) everything graphically related is used to improve visuals which is to much to sum up. The desert terrain is changed (not finished yet but will be soon)

Its ment to upgrade everything in the game and alot of it you won't even notice at first but... You will once you switch back to vanilla.

What isn't changed are for example the units thereselfs and buildings.

With that said theres still quite some bugs from the previous version I didnt find it intresting to fix them yet.

BE AWARE: The engine isnt build for this, performance will be significantly lower even on high end PCs because the engine cant actually handle modern processors, RAM and GPUs well. These will be bottlenecked by the engine. But with that said since the game came actually use modern hardware at its fullest.

The recommended specs will be 3ghz processors (dual core the rest won't be used) , relatively mid range (gtx 950 equal and upper I assume) graphics cards (2gb VRAM on the GPU as said the rest won't be used) and 8gb RAM where 4 gb is used (4gb can also work but you do need to close any programs running in the background) . Knowing that the engine can't handle it sometimes you might end up with 10 fps in longer games. And screen tearing can happen luckily it doesn't really feel like and it won't impact the game itself. Let me know if these recommended specs are accurate by providing feedback.

To use the mod at its fullest potential put everything on the max settings and put everything on in the settings menu.

THE MOD IS AND WILL REMAIN FULLY MULTIPLAYER COMPATIBLE

Compatible with No decaying bodies: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1785085218
Could have an impact on the overal experience however I think the game natively is better without no decaying bodies because the enhanced audio does have a bigger impact the higher fps you got :) I would definitely run it myself without!

*Plan to do fix the bugs and I will be trying to add some more custom detailed textures etc. I would love to improve it even more and mahbe even some custom weather effects!

Also devs, before I didnt know how that I actually need like permission to make changes to existing assets and such. If this is a problem do let me know. I think its really impressive what can be done with this game :).g assets and such. If this is a problem do let me know. I think its really impressive what can be done with this game :).

---Latest change added a massive update to (hopefully) improve the details on units, ships, artillery you name it. Report any bugs especially if because of that suddenly things crash do leave a comment.
