Enhanced Zoom and Surveyability

Description
Short description / TLDR
Simple mod that allows you to zoom in and out a lot further, and changes scales of a lot of models/objects. View your glorious empire from closer than ever before, or even view the entire map at once!

Main uses
A simple mod that allows you to zoom in a little bit further, and allows you to zoom out so far that you can view the entire map at once even on 16:9 aspect ratio screens. The mod also changes the scale of objects like units, buildings and borders.

The main objective of this mod is to give you a better overview when playing as, or against, a nation which has some really small provinces (which are often added in map expansion/overhaul mods).

You could also utilize this mod to view the map at an angle, which allows you to take some scenic shots or just view your glorious empire from another perspective.

Compatibility
! - This mod is not Ironman Compatible, due to the way the checksum is calculated.

The mod should be compatible with almost all other mods. Unit packs may however contain conflicting changes, just like some map mods might (visual mods). Theatrum Orbis Terrarum (Carthoge Reloaded)'s border add-on, for example, does work, but may override some of the scale settings, resulting in borders with a larges width.

Latest additions
It is now possible to also zoom out further, allowing you to view the complete map at once. This also works for timelapses, which means you can now share timelapses of the whole map rather than having a small strip cut out of frame.
Share the full extent the rise of your glorious empire!

Other versions
As requested, a version without border scale changes is available now (for use with mods like Neprut's graphics mod, or if you just do not want the thinner borders): visit this page to subscribe.

Visit this page for a version with smaller border scale changes (not as thin as in the main mod, not as thick as the default).

Whatever works best for you, I wouldn't mind. Thank you for replying and giving me permission though!

Hi @Sleepy, Silly, Submissive

I had indeed not yet updated that version to the latest game version. It should be up to date for now, but if you want, you hereby have my permission to use the assets of that version. Alternatively, we could add you as a contributor to keep everything in one place.

Hi, I saw that the version of your mod without border scale changes hasn't been updated to the latest version. I wanted to ask if it was okay for me to use your mod assets in order to create a version of it that is updated to the latest?

@MooBoogie, Great news! I succeeded in updating the mod without the original files by tricking the launcher a bit. As soon as Steam's automated content check finishes doing its thing it should be fully up to date.

Hi @MooBoogie , even though the launcher states that the mod is out of date, it should still work. I currently do not have the mod files at my disposal as it has been quite a while, but if I find the time to search though my old archives I shall overwrite the supported game versions and reupload.

Pls update :(

@Argacyan: I have just updated the mod using the new system. It should work now, but I do not have any way of testing it yet, thus please let me know if it does.

Purged my launcher of duplicates as recommended by Paradox and now I don't have a working duplicate of this mod anymore. The thing the workshop downloads for me is a legacy bin, like with all outdated mods, which the launcher automatically unticks from loading.

@✠Bullhurley✠: The mod should still work for this version. There does not seem to be a quick way for me to update the version now, but I will look into it later.
