Possible Map Contours Option

I've been fiddling with adding contour lines to the map...

(...as well as a few other simple visual clarity tweaks.)

I'm not convinced these contours make elevation any more distinguishable, and whilst a higher density of contour lines might help that's not really a go'er with the way this all seems to stitch together.

Also, if anyone has an answer to this https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/view ... 8&t=380285 question that would be grand.

Even if you couldnt have denser contour lines, thats still pretty cool looking.
Dont forget to post the files when your done.

The amount of detail (aka. clutter) reduces the higher up the map is viewed from, with maximum detail at 'ground level' detail, and minimum detail at 'situation level' detail.

Note: hex grid has been inverted from full white to mid-dark.
