Status: offline 		After looking over the map alot I have a few suggestions that would make it easier to see the different types of terrain.

1) Swamps need to stand out.
2) Mountains and hills need to stand out more also.
3) Cities need more darkening.
4) Major cities need to be a little different than minor cities.
5) Also the production numbers clash with unit str and ap when a unit occupies a city.

I know what you are going for, the style and such, but players need to see differences in terrain without looking too hard.

Thanks!

For major cities, I prefer to rename them in capital letters at cities.csv than add an icon or an eyecandy (supply sources being big cities like Berlin or small towns like Vichy have red underline icon).

Here you can download the map mod:

A good way to exchange files is to make a google group and upload and download files through it.

Status: offline 		Hi, the links are working for me. The last ones are the more recent versions.

Anyway, I have uploaded the last versions I get.

Minor graphic changes for the maps; every map now admit the optional hex grid. A new "flavour" of the colored map is available.

Also minor changes for the counters, I have repaired the bugs I have noticed in previous versions.

And please remember to look from a distance for not being hurt

The font for cities is defined at appearance.csv in the mapskin folder:

Futura BK BT is the font for the name. Of course you must have that font installed in your system or you will see a default font.
You can easily download it, I have found this:

Stylized zoom out





Very nice! How hard to make the land units appear as counters like the air units?

Are you working on SOP version yet?

I'm so spoiled by your graphics that I'm not buying it until you make a mod.
