Miller Cylindrical Projection
The Miller cylindrical projection is a projection more commonly used on maps. The purpose of this mod is to re-project the heavily distorted vanilla map filled with confusing projections and man-made distortions onto a standardized map supported by GIS (Geographic Information System) data.
The mod does not change the location and attribution of the provinces, only mapping them so that they appear exactly as they should in the MCP. The map modification does not add new provinces, which means it is compatible with many mods.Theoretically this mod can be used with other mods that do not involve too much map modification.
In addition, the mod has mapped out the coastline, rivers and terrain of East Asia and the region up to Papua Island, in order to provide material for other modders and to make room for the possible inclusion of East and Southeast Asia in the vanilla game. Places that may not have had an established regime in history during the time reflected in the game (e.g. northeastern Siberia, central Africa) have also been included in the map for map projection purposes.
This mod currently has no plans to add the regimes like Japan, Korea, China or Srivijaya directly to the map, but their locations have been mapped out. Anyone wishing to use this map as a source material can do so by specifying the source.
This mod is not Iron Man compatible because it changes the map data.
The content of the geodatabase is derived from NASA Earth Observations and Natural Earth.
- The coastline, rivers, and terrain are redrawn based on GIS.
- Areas that may be added to the vanilla game in the future are mapped in advance and can be used for mod development.
- Carefully crafted paper maps that are as close to the vanilla game’s paper maps as possible.
Even though I’ve adjusted the coordinates of the map objects, most of them are randomly generated, so there may still be problems. If you have bug reports, questions or suggestions, please feel free to leave your feedbacks.
