Less Map Markers [Performance fix]
Up to date for game version 1.2.x
Less Map Markers is a simple performance mod that reduces the visual quality and detail of map markers.
Map markers can cost a surprising amount of FPS, especially when there are many of them on screen. This mod tones them down and hides a lot of less important foreign markers, while still keeping your own important markers visible.
The mod currently affects:
- City markers
- Market markers
- Raw goods markers
- Import/export markers
- Blocked vision markers
- Building, army, navy, and conquistador construction markers
- Fort and toll markers
- Supply depot and fort restoration markers
For these marker types, your own markers stay visible, while many foreign markers are hidden or simplified.
Construction markers have also been made lighter on performance. Building construction markers use direct building type icons, while army/navy/conquistador construction uses static category icons. The progress ring is preserved. Raw goods/RGO and import/export map markers use the game goods icon lookup so each good keeps its own icon.
This mod only changes how map markers are displayed.
It does not change gameplay, balance, AI, economy, or mechanics.
