Some cities and towns show remnants of the old tiles.

can you post me one of those? I removes all urban coast (substituted that for clean ones) so it may be a mistake while making the installable version

RedLancer were (of course!) right, fonts CAN be modified completely. The basckside is that if you change them you really need a new game to be started, I will work on some font variations for completion and optional use.

(Atached a 10 minutes try at it)

If you can change the font so that main cities are larger and if you can generally improve the names display, then you are THE man !!!
And your Jison-like map looks fab !
BTW, where do I find the files ? I'm a bit lost in various versions ... Where is the latest set of tiles ?

Great that you cracked the text issue vilcum! Will have to see it in game to really judge, but it looks readable now.
Just a tiny issue I have, the rough terrain looks a bit too light in my eyes, almost like desert terrain. So would have that on my Wishlist[:D]
But otherwise great work.

Now I'm even inspired to tangle with a map idea I got[X(]

I toyed with some other rough terrain tones too, choosed this ones in the end as the contrast looked better on my eyes.

Go for your own map! but be aware is adicting...I begin this as "only a little customization" , I love the easy it is to customize this game (map, counter...)... it takes lot more work and money to do the same to my motorbike [8D]

there are links to all the last version files in the first post of this forum. I will put fonts there too when I have ones I am happy with (I am having problems now mostly with minor rivers)

[vilcum]

Font working...I am totally sold on towns and airbases, and quite happy with city/urban

I am not so happy with rivers...combinations that works right with forest are somewhat too heavy in southern steppes

- mayor and minor rivers, in "high contrast" format. you can left stock ones -simply so not install this part- for a more smooth map look

Yes , If you want the full pack. "core" is what I think is a "must", the other ones are more a matter of personal taste.

OK cool ! Thanks !

Here is N Smolensk.

Also Smolensk south of the Dnepr should be a little bigger it connects to N Smolensk.

Vilnius, Riga, and Minsk are other examples of this that I have seen.

This was my doing. I wanted Smolensk to be historical and since the devs didn't seem to want to do it I attempted it myself.
It is not in anyone else's version of the game. I have since backed it out but my saves still reflect it. I would have to restart my current campaign to fix it.

Awesome! Have you updated this in your release?

[jlbhung]

I am a bit worried about the clarity of white/light color text in winter turns.

[OberGeneral]

Good point![X(][X(]

[nukkxx5058]

Could large cities (objective cities) names changed to uppercase like it was in WITE1 ?

[Bamilus]

Just change the color to another bright color that isnt white and you wont have an issue with winter

[OberGeneral]

Right.[:D]

[briklebritt]

Some ideas.. which would be really great when possible with your mod


Snow - is it possible with the new map?


Urban and city images much more clear and bigger


Text glow - outline through the editor did not allow such effects, sadly


Water color gradient

I found the right key combination to activate the Map Editor on my keyboard. It is fn+ the ~` keys.
