Want to make your own?
You can download it here. You'll need Photoshop for it to work.

Using it is simple enough:

1. Import it into Photoshop
2. Open provinces.bmp
3. Run the action

You'll now have a province outline.


A while back I made some maps for my mod and for the vanilla game.
I've now decided that it would be best to share those maps, and resources for making similar maps, with the community at large, and have therefore made this thread.
So without further ado, here's an example map, and the full sets of maps I've made.

Map sets:

• Vanilla Map Modes
• Project Balance Map Modes

Below are images that can be used for making maps of your own. Simply put the province outline on top of a map screenshot (taken using F10 while in CKII) using an image editor, for example Paint.NET, Photoshop, or GIMP.
If you want an outline for a specific mod, just ask and I'll make one and add it to the list. If any outline on the list is outdated, tell me and I'll add an updated version.

• Vanilla outline (version 2.0.4)
• Vanilla outline (version 2.1.X)
• Vanilla outline (version 2.4.X)
• Project Balance outline (version 3.2.X)
• A Game of Thrones outline (version 0.7.2)
• SWMH Map Outline (version 2.8513)
• Elder Kings outline (version 0.1.3a)
• Diadochi Kings outline (version 0.0.3)
• Middle Earth Project outline (version 0.4.1b)

If you publicly post a map made using the outlines above credit is appreciated, but not required.

Cool! I am sure this is perfect for AARs and the like. I will use it, if I will ever make an AAR.

P&T uses SWMH, so the correct request would be for the SWMH map.

Still, does he needs to know full genealogy of the map from the mod to do outline? I don't think so, but thanks for correcting me, I guess.

Can you name all the mods that use SWMH map, then, so when he will be done with outline it will be all there in OP?

As far as I know only P&T does, but as a fellow modder I did find it important that it is pointed out that Aasmul put his heart into the map and that it's he who gives it to P&T. It's for this reason why my own mods won't be allowed for compilations in the future.

Added both SWMH and PrincyThany to the OP (there are some minor differences between the two)

How do you use Paint.NET to put the province map on top of a screenshot?

You should be able to place it as a layer on top as far as I know.

Thanks Keanon, its really tricky with compilations and how one gets credited.

its down to the version, P&T hasn't been updatet to the version of the map that SWMH has. However both mods will the updatet to a new version soon(probably today), normally the versions of the map is identical.

Man, as you see, there are some differences between two maps (I assume, old SWMH version), so you remark was even not needed. It was all about actual map outlines, not copyrights. And all rights are in TPATT thread, as it was ever.

Anyway, thank you again, Meneth.

Edit: I was ninja'd, sigh.

Of course, sorry. I just wish copyrights were reserved, but not fanatically to the letter. Or we could just patent every feature and start our own patent wars, sigh.

I haven't mean any harm to Aasmul, I just wanted map outline that is in TPATT. :/

The Project Balance outline is now for version 3.0.1 rather than the unreleased 3.1. Not sure why I didn't do that from the beginning.

The only way to make them larger than 2048x2048 would be upscaling, which would lead to reduced quality.
