Good to know, thank you!

it was an issue with something else sorry, this works great, looks excellent
Sigvar  [author] 5 Jun, 2023 @ 9:54am 
I see no reason why it shouldn't be compatible with Better UI 2.0. The only UI related change in this mod is the map on the bottom right corner.
Zippy 4 Jun, 2023 @ 11:37pm 
is this compatible with better UI 2.0? it doesn't seem to be :/

@Cyrus the Great - Cool video. I like ambience.
yangzilata 9 Feb, 2022 @ 1:36am 
The existing mod is not compatible with ironman, unfortunate...
Sigvar  [author] 8 Feb, 2022 @ 2:43pm 
There's a dark UI mod and yes, it's compatible with this mod.
yangzilata 8 Feb, 2022 @ 1:31am 
Yes, I see.
I mean do you able to create dark UI?
Sigvar  [author] 7 Feb, 2022 @ 12:21pm 
This mod does not touch the UI other than the minimap.
yangzilata 7 Feb, 2022 @ 11:57am 
Could you make dark UI only or engaged with this mod?

Hey this is a fantastic mod

I made an ambience video using your GFX overhaul mod

Updated.
Sigvar  [author] 20 Mar, 2021 @ 3:04am 
Wait, so the levies map mode is part of the base game?? I thought it was another mod. I will have to update this mod then. Thanks for noticing!
Slaskie 19 Mar, 2021 @ 4:35pm 
Yeah, that is exactly what i did, fixed it myself by copying the levies mapmode from the basegame to the mod file
Sigvar  [author] 19 Mar, 2021 @ 11:19am 
This mod changes two map modes and all map modes are in the same file. So there's a conflict. You should probably be able to use Levies Mapmode if you put it below this mod in the load order, that way it will be prioritised and replace the file "map_modes" of this mod. Alternatively you could create a patch by just creating your own mod and merge the two files. One could do it by just copy pasting the map mode from Levies Mapmode to the map modes file in my mod.
Slaskie 19 Mar, 2021 @ 7:52am 
The mod breaks the Levies Mapmode. It doesnt show up in the list, and if you click it in the military tab menu, nothing happens.
Might also be some other mapmodes?
Sigvar  [author] 22 Feb, 2021 @ 1:19am 
Yes
Rodrius 21 Feb, 2021 @ 7:47pm 
2.0 compatible?
Nyoka ya Mpembe 22 Oct, 2020 @ 2:33pm 
Thank you good sir
CMDR Herne 21 Sep, 2020 @ 5:20pm 
Really nice mod makes the map really pop
Alfonso Muskedunder 18 Sep, 2020 @ 1:50am 
This map has a lot more of an era accurate vibe.. love it!
Nuclear Winter 15 Aug, 2020 @ 9:01pm 
A really nice mod. Thank you.
Ricky 7 Aug, 2020 @ 5:23am 
Thanks for the reply, will use the mod from now on, even if only for a minor increase in fps.
Sigvar  [author] 6 Aug, 2020 @ 3:30pm 
Thanks for the appreciation!

As for performance, I doubt it has any effect. Perhaps it's slightly better due to the decreased reflections.
Puliandro 5 Aug, 2020 @ 9:30am 
I want to say that thanks fot this mod, now I can play for longer times than before, it helps me to stay sane and not make me want to rip my eyes out, tha vanilla map it's too damn bright and the terrain colours and details are not as good as when I play with this mod on!
Ricky 21 Jul, 2020 @ 9:19am 
Does this help in any way with performance?
crGrc 22 Apr, 2020 @ 7:45am 
Excellent mod... makes the base game map look even better.
Sigvar  [author] 22 Apr, 2020 @ 3:49am 
It's possible to make political map mode display when zoomed out in terrain map mode. Tested it, but I don't think it's going to be added to the overhaul. Could upload it as a separate mod.
Sigvar  [author] 22 Apr, 2020 @ 3:34am 
You can now see occupation stripes in terrain map mode. Surprised no one told me about it.
kill_off 21 Apr, 2020 @ 6:35am 
I love the terrain changes but is there a way to make it still show the political map when being zoomed out ? I usually play on terrain map mode and thinks is really good to just zoom out and see the borders and colors instead of changing modes.
Olympian 19 Apr, 2020 @ 12:17am 
Nice!
Sigvar  [author] 16 Apr, 2020 @ 3:29am 
The vanilla political map mode worked well with the new map texture so the cleaner look is gone from the overhaul. Will probably make a mod with a clean flat map for all modes and mods with flat map textures.
Sigvar  [author] 15 Apr, 2020 @ 3:26pm 
I prefer the cleaner map format to the vanilla one, but I made it a bit less so for the current version. I also decreased the border thickness a little. Not sure what you mean by the shades being awkward.
Constokivepolis 15 Apr, 2020 @ 8:35am 
I completely support your idea of "terrain map mode for terrain map mode". Though I don't know if you have played with faction colours, they look like colour-puke more than ever. Also I personally find the borders somewhat too tick, and the shades somewhat awkward
Sigvar  [author] 13 Apr, 2020 @ 11:40pm 
Not sure what you mean by completely blank. A glitch? It looks fine to me. It's supposed to only show terrain in terrain map mode.
E 13 Apr, 2020 @ 4:31pm 
The terrain map is, for some reason, completely blank when I zoom out. Just white colour and nothing else.

The rest of the mapmodes are fine.
Sigvar  [author] 13 Apr, 2020 @ 3:50pm 
I prefer the proper terrain mode with thick black borders. I will upload separate components as their own mods for those who'd like to pick and choose for themselves.
Sigvar  [author] 13 Apr, 2020 @ 2:52pm 
The author does say the mod removes the clouds though. I thought that was your request. Sorry, can't help you then. You could try searching or asking in the official forums.
Jayshua_Lyn 13 Apr, 2020 @ 2:28pm 
Ok that is a No Fog mod but not a Fog of War removal.
Not sure why the author claims that! :(
I'll check it out though.
Sigvar  [author] 13 Apr, 2020 @ 2:05pm 
Link to the mod that removes FOW in the description.
Jayshua_Lyn 13 Apr, 2020 @ 1:03pm 
What are you all using for FOW removal?

When I tweak the FOW via the Console all the units on my map blink badly and lag out my game!
TrJacobin 13 Apr, 2020 @ 12:56pm 
Love the changes, I also used it with the FOW and clouds removal apps. Just one quick suggestion. Could you, in the terrain view, have highlights of the nations colors at the borders? It becomes hard to see where a country ends and begins for other countries as well
Sigvar  [author] 13 Apr, 2020 @ 11:30am 
Replaced the red map texture with the default one. The dark water is kept. Works well enough.
Sigvar  [author] 13 Apr, 2020 @ 10:55am 
Yes, no sky clouds, but there is FOW. I used another mod in some of the images to remove the FOW.

True, the red map should probably be its own mod. I would like to have some warmer coloured flat map as standard though since it looks bad when transitioning between the maps otherwise.
TrJacobin 13 Apr, 2020 @ 10:36am 
Looks really interesting, so no clouds right? Also, the red map texture looks like Rome has patches all over the world...I'd recommend against it :)
