Features
- A completely new map projection, the Braun Stereographic Projection, made from scratch. It is functionally and aesthetically very similar to the modified Miller Projection used in vanilla. However, it is 12.5% taller than the vanilla map, and somewhat more compressed towards the poles, allowing the continents to be placed properly in relation to each other. For everywhere south of northern Scandinavia, Siberia, and Canada, this amounts to a minimal change in province size. On average, provinces on the equator are about 5% taller than as vanilla, while those in Europe are about 5% shorter. The biggest changes in size are in Australia and Patagonia, which are nearly 20% larger than vanilla.
- Redone heightmap, based on NASA satellite imagery. The height scale is slightly less dramatic than vanilla, but meant to keep the same spirit.
- Redone coastlines. All coastlines have been redrawn by hand. Referenced from mostly from Google maps, but also from historical maps in cases where the coasts have dramatically changed.
- Redone terrain, climate and winter map, based on NASA data.
- Redone rivers, based on NASA satellite imagery. The river density is roughly the same as vanilla, but properly placed, and appropriately detailed.
- Redone vanilla province map. The vanilla province map has been adapted to the new map, but it is relatively unchanged, except in circumstances where the original was extremely inaccurate. New sea zones were required, and have been adapted from pre-existing lakes and anachronistic reservoirs deemed not worthy of a unique province.
- Redone trade nodes and trade routes. More routes, to provide a more dynamic flow tied to colonization
- More tradewinds. Tradewinds have been added in every ocean, to represent historical routes such as the Manila Galleon across the Pacific or the maritime routes between Europe and India.
- Redone colonial regions and trade company regions based on historical borders. New former colonial nations California, Texas, Alaska, Cuba and Guyana.A special thanks to neondt for sharing his mod "Former Colonial Nations"http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=220782362&tscn=1505684955
