Better Map Graphics

Hey, you there!
Tired of looking at the same flat vanilla 3D map for the past 500 hours? Want a more realistic paper map that showcases your huge empire in all its might and glory? Well, I might just have the thing you're looking for.

Don't let the uninspired name deceive you, the "Better Map Graphics" mod does just what the title says.

• Slimmer and darker domain borders
• Bolder county borders for better visibility during duchy view
• Better details on the 3D map with more visible mountains and hills as you zoom closer
• A more colorful and intricate paper map that resembles a real political map
• Less brightness for the paper map similar to the original release of the game
• No issues with snow burning your eyes every winter (snow is only visible when you zoom in really close like in vanilla)
• Ironman & Achievements compatible
• Works with pre-existing saves

If you don't like the look of the county borders you can follow these steps to disable them:
1. In the paradox launcher go to your playsets or to the all mods list
2. Find the mod in the list and click the 3 dots next to it (bottom right corner)
3. Click "show in folder" in the drop down that appears
4. Go to gfx/map/borders and delete the border_county.dds file

• Made the map border slightly thicker on the pre-paper map zoom level
• Just updated to work with the latest patch with the new 3D table graphics, thanks to Mishy for doing all the heavy lifting

Compatible with 1.12.3

• OPB's Map
• Paper Map Brightness Fix

Many thanks & cheers!
