Description




In case of flickering, use DX9 instead of DX11


Hey there. Have you ever wanted a HOI4 map that looks more stylish and vibrant? Did you miss the old map style akin to HOI3, Victoria 2, or even beta versions of HOI4? Do you find HOI4's map and graphics dull, annoying, or even depressing? Then this mod is for you


Several changes have been made to the graphics, including :

  • More distinguishable shaders
  • New realistic-looking terrain textures
  • A better question of particles and effects to make the map look sharp
  • Darker and more realistic water reflections
  • Performance impact is virtually nonexistent


Since the mod is very versatile with compatibility in mind, it is compatible with almost every mod, even those with custom maps!

I highly recommend this mod if you are getting exhausted of HOI4, along with this one to get a brand new and fresh experience :

Thanks to Moisy.cc ✠ for helping me get the supply map right and other UI problems

Creating a mod takes a significant amount of time and effort. If you'd like to support the development and help keep me motivated, you can consider donating using the Buy Me a Coffee button. I would greatly appreciate it.

Love the work! Do you think theres ever a chance you could combine/update this with your night mode reworks? I like the day and night cycle, but standard Hoi4 nights are so ugly looking compared to your nights. It would be amazing to have this with a day and night cycle.

Incredible!!! can you make a version for TNO?

Thank you for your effort and for the good looking mod. :)

But sadly for me switching to dx9 is not worth the performance hit at endgame for sake of one mod.

Hey! for the white boxes I think it varies computer by computer but my best advice would be to switch from directx 9 to 11 (or vice versa)

Having the same issue as @OmgDaNinja, getting a white flickering box in Toscana as Italy. present in 1936 and never really goes away.

Loving the mod though, graphic are pure beauty

Yo, really appreciate the map mod, so if you ever decide to change the water texture I hope you don't use a ocean terrain overlay texture (not sure what its called) since it won't be compatible with different projection mods or mods like EaW.
Also, your other mods are just as good, keep it up :steamhappy:

@schnupfi
I appreciate that brother, thank you
Sharpening the mountains is indeed a good idea
If I ever got time to handle that, be sure that I will
Have an excellent day!

Dark water go glou glou

Btw, if you know a map mod that deos water better tell me, I may ask its creator for a permission to integrate its water structure

the map on land looks really good but the water is boring
