Ibn Battuta's Legacy(+) map improvement for CK

Description
THIS MOD IS NO LONGER NECESSARY. FOR THE HOLY FURY AND IRON CENTURY UPDATES, I WAS ABLE TO INCORPORATE ALL THIS MOD'S IMPROVEMENTS INTO THE BASE CK2 AND IN SOME AREAS ACTUALLY EXPAND IT. SO THIS MOD IS ONLY USABLE IF YOU USE CK2 VERSIONS OLDER THAN HOLY FURY UPDATE.

This MAP mod redraws borders in various areas of the MiddleEast, Africa and Europe in order to improve the map immersion and fix actual locations of provinces, cities, rivers and mountains.

Features:
- It fixes courses of rivers such as Danube and adds few more rivers to Central Europe region. (courtesy of Talvos)
- It fixes Carpathian mountains
- It fixes province borders and holdings in following areas:
Hungary, Bohemia, Poland and Germany
Persia, Central Asia and Turkestan
Syria, Iraq, Holy Land and Arabia
Egypt and North and East Africa
- It adds some (18) provinces: some to Central Asia, but mostly to West and Central Africa creating a corridor connecting West Africa with Libya and East Africa
- It adds Trade route from West and Central Africa to the Mediterraean coast
- it also has gameplay and history submod:

Please, don't forget to rate if you like the mod or not, so also others could see how you see this mod.

Original version of this mod - "Ibn Battutah's Legacy" has the same features, except that it sticks to the vanilla province number and thus, does not add a single province. It can be found here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=609501030

Further info: https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/map-mod-ibn-battutas-legacy-map-improvement-of-islamic-world.901892/

Game version compatibility:
- It works just fine with 2.7.1 version despite not being fully updated (using the mod you will only miss changes such as Ganges river or lake Baikal)
- Is not yet fully compatible with EUIV converter, but I can't rule out it could somehow work

Credits and thanks:
- Talvos for the great editions of Danube and Carpathian mountain range
- Aasmul and the entire SWMH team in HIP for inspiration and the honor of working with them on their great map.
- Zijistark for solving modding problems and for consultations
- Starwarsfan and Zeress for help with other minor modding stuff
- many other Paradox forum users who participated in discussions helping to sort things out.

Terms of usage in other mods:
- if you want to use anything from this mod, please, give me at least credits and there would be no problem
- as a matter of courtesy, I would always appreciate to be informed in advance that you plan to use some part of this mod in other mods. It would also help us both to customize the changes so they would fit your mod the best.

@tylerarrington83 yes, the mod became obsolete...
The CK2 team allowed me to include or even expand basically all improvements of this mod into the base game in the Holy Fury and Iron Century updates. In those updates I was actually able to add even little more than I did for this mod, so it's not needed anymore.

Doesn't seem to work anymore, it just crashes the game now

basically yes. No need to use it, since most its improvements have been even improved inside the original game.

So, is this mod dead?
elvain  [author] 19 Dec, 2018 @ 7:44am 
Well, the latest patch basically included all the changes I made in this mod and in many places went beyond. I myself cooperated with the devs in several areas and I find the current vanilla map better than this mod, so I do recommend using it.

hi Everyone. I'm very sorry, but I'm way too busy with other stuff now and I won't be able to update the map for Jade Dragon in upcomming days. If ever, the update won't come before december

@elvain It's time to update ! The Jade Dragon has come !

@elvain Seems like this bug is only affecting the eastern european regions in my game. The game crashed on every Rurikid game I tried to play, but it never crashed on any of my other starts.
