Well, there were complaints about the ugliness of the CK2 map at this stage in development, and that evolved to be fine... I wouldn't worry about the map, they'll make it OK. They know what they're doing.

I really miss those old style paradox maps that actually felt like they belonged in the game. Sure the map is nice, I suppose, but for a game about High middle age Europe to pre-industralism, a satellite map feels really wrong. I know I"m in the minority and my opinion won't effect the outcome of the game, but hopefully there will be mods to fix the map.

I loved how in Divine Wind, the map really looked like a map. Folded up on a big table or something. Then again, the proper hills we see in EU IV looks amazing.

Are those more islands I spot in the Southern Atlantic Ocean?

Because Sweden is a lot more important to this era than Sardinia?

I like those trade lanes on the map, looks great.

**D3ATH** · 13-08-2012 11:48

Beautiful. Can't wait for this game to come out.

I agree with this, but also have to accept that I'm probably also a minority.

Here's me hoping for a flat map option, since the hills of CKII really annoys me

I 'gree with this as well.

But I will make a high-res mountains mod when the game is released.

we need more provincies, for example Minorca (English possesion on balearic islands)

**tuvix** · 13-08-2012 22:15

and istria like in httt and not in dw

**iShurik** · 13-08-2012 22:57

Only 7 map modes? I hope in the final game there will be more. I really liked the many map modes from EU3 DW 5.1!

It certainly is for the developers of the game

I agree with a more simple mapmode. A drawed map, that looks like something used in 1400-1800. 7 map modes? Why not 1 that actually works? Anyway what's all the fuzz with the terrain map mode? Does anyone use it? I always play on political. And it bothers me that I have to change between that and the religious among others because the map reveals zero information.

**iShurik** · 14-08-2012 01:33

You might be right, but I used the terrain map mode for weather data. A smart combined "max supply limit/max attrition/weather" map mode would be nice. The SOI map mode (If SOI is still a concept) could be combined with the "diplomatical relations" map mode. And for bigger countries the "revolt risk" map mode is a must have!

Edit: I started a thread about map modes

The map looks nice. I guess I'm kind of underwhelmed by the scale though. I expected larger land masses and more provinces to play in, but it seems like there are less compared to EU3 let alone the games that came after. I don't want to call it a step back so early in development, but the pics seem to show a regression in this area imho.

Those sexy sex unit models can't wait

**UnitRico** · 14-08-2012 09:10

I like the look of the map, although the CK2 styled borders don't seem too fitting, somehow, especially not in the later stages of the game.

**zonkie** · 14-08-2012 16:17

Looks amazing.
