Campaign Weather Overhaul

Mod is fully adapted to every map in the game, including Immortal Empires Expanded and The Old World map, but place mine first in the load order!

*Screenshots are extremely outdated (years old). Will eventually upload new ones.

This mod is a complete overhaul of campaign map lighting and weather. There are close to 300 new environments, with more than 60 new weather effects for Realms of Chaos, Immortal Empires, Immortal Empires Expanded and The Old World map. This mod puts visuals and immersion over gameplay, so some areas might not be visually optimal for everyone.

This mod is entirely designed with the Improved Campaign Camera mod in mind. The lower inclination of the vanilla camera is NOT the intended "angle of view" for the visuals provided by this mod.

Compatible with everything that doesn’t affect the campaign weather files. Fully compatible with all the Forestry mods

Ultimate Lighting 2.0: it’s fully compatible as long as you place my mod before his in the load order (put mine above). This way, both work properly!

To CA for creating this massive game.
To Frodo45127 for creating Rusted PackFile Manager.
To Mazisky for his initial tips and for his visual mods that gave me the idea to start exploring the game files myself and discover all their weathery potential.
