Bleached Map_v2.1 Map Mod

Post by PHalen »

I've made some map adjustments that work well for my aging eyes.
The Bitmap files in this version 2.1 of the Bleached Map mod work for both “War in Europe” and “World at War”.
For WaW however, I recommend waiting for the next update where the extremely handy mod selector switch will be available.

The Bleached Map mod is a stand-alone map mod with no other game changes what so ever.

Features:
• Significantly paler/bleached maps.
• Less bleached major rivers, to make them easier to distinguish from normal rivers.
• Less bleached railroads, to make them a bit clearer.
• Less bleached recourses (i.e. cities, towns & ports etc.)
• New weather tiles, based on files generously provided by IronX. Thanks!

The Bleached Map mod comes in two flavors:
• With mine & oil symbols instead of 3D sprites to make mine & oil objective hexes easy to spot:

• For those who prefer a consistent map look:

Installation instructions:

A sample from the opening of WiE campaign “1940 Attack in the West”.
With mine & oil symbols and with National Colors enabled.
A sample of the new rain & storm tiles can be seen in post #3. Thanks again IronX!

Looks interesting, I may give this a try, am finding Welk's "Board Game" mod a little too washed out

Thanks IronX for generously providing their files for me to fiddle with & implement into the Bleached Map mod!

Cheers!
