See the World – Death to the Grey Void
Usually, you know me for significantly larger work, say AGOT or for EU5, WOTD: This is not that. This is a tiny, tweak I made for myself, but realized others might share my specific headache.
The Problem Since release, I have harbored a burning hatred for the grey overlay applied to large parts of the map. It drives me absolutely crazy. Particularly in regions where pop-based countries exist. People live in these regions, and the game treats them to a void of Grey. Furthermore, unless you are hyper zoomed on the terrain map; you will not see the terrain that developers may have spent on in these regions…. I hated that and so I fixed it.
- Visuals: Removing the overlay does make the map’s underlying texture seams/problems more obvious, but I still VASTLY prefer it to the grey wash.
- My Setup: I personally play with Paper Map set to Never, but this is only a personal choice
- Compatibility: This is a tiny tweak that shouldn’t ever need updating. It’s compatible with anything that doesn’t touch exactly these two lines:
-
NGraphics: FLAT_MAP_COLOR_LAND_HSV
-
NMapColors: DEFAULT_COLOR
-
