Very good work, makes the sea areas and text easy to see on zoomed-out settings. Very useful in looking at the grand strategy of the game. Thanks. [:)]

Well done. The only thing I didn't care for were the grey mountains. I think they would look better is simply a darker brown than the hills.

Good work.

Q: what font are you using for the map? Is it a standard?

Thank you guys, for your kind words & nice feedback. [:)]

@ gwgardner: first i used a dark brown color for the mountains, but the map looked awful & i didn´t liked it at all. So I switched to grey.

@ Agent S: The font is "Arial Narrow". Don´t know, but would assume its a standard font.

With this mod I am now finding the game more playable, the sea areas and ports are easier to see and it makes planning and movement much better. I had not really been able to get into the game before this mod became available. Thanks [:)]
