Thank you yes I would really appreciate that. again, without the map working we really cannot proceed. I am still waiting for an answeom Lennartos who had offered to take a look at why it doesn't work in AoD.

Well the amount f work still involved is downright insane. If I had an indication of wether there is still sufficient interest and also if there is some help forthcoming, there could yet be progress.

GREAT NEWS! Lennartos managed to get the map working in AoD. So the mod is set to get going again. I'll upload some pics soon. And again any help is much appreciated.

I like the idea of merging elements of CORE with this mod. I am however not that keen on the CORE Tech Tree.

The graphics of this mod are great, but why not go full color with the pictures? Do you need help with those?
There were a number of excellent color mods for leaders and ministers, but I can help you with minor nations.

Yes I want to go full color as far as possible. But as regards leaders and ministers I'll stick to black and white. That's just too much work. My american leader file alone is 4000+ large. To recolor all those would take a lifetime.

Very good news! It's an incredible mod you are making.

I might be able to send a hand with the soft-coding, what would be needed?

Would any of you guys make a video tutorial of how to modify the map of E3map mod to add new provinces? ... A video in this sense would be more efficient, since not everyone understands English well. Because my intention was to add these things:

1) Shanghai International Settlement https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shanghai_International_Settlement

2) The province of Rimini and the border with San Marino and give directly to the sea with a harbor
(colored in orange to make the new Italian province visible on the map but it must belong to the Italian state)

These changes must be based on the E3map version for:
1) Arsenal of Democracy
2) Darkest Hour v. 1.05.1

To be quite honest, mapmaking really is a very time consuming effort. And as far as I know I am the only one actively left on the forum that knows how to do it. The original E3 Map had about 8000+ provinces and I cut it down to about 6500 as playtesting showed that the game really slowed to a crawl with too many provinces. Now that I added the topographic layer, adding new provinces is even more complicated. Alas I have very little time, so a video tutorial is just not on my list of uregnt things to do. There is enough work as it is to make the new map finally playable in a mod. Sorry.

And I thank you for your commitment and your abilities, however, doing calmly and taking the necessary time, could you not even do the province of Rimini and the international concession of Shanghai? Moreover the province of Rimini is enough to make it of the dimension that I have shown on the attached image, while the concession of Shanghai (moving the port of Shanghai further south) you can make it as big as Macao for example, what do you say?

P.S.
Perhaps these changes can only be made for the Darkest Hour v 1.05.1

Or you could replace the provinces of Umago with Rimini and Gorizia with the Shanghai Concession so that you don't have so many provinces to slow down the game

The territory of Gorizia is annexed to the province of Udine
while the territory of Umago is annexed to the province of Pola
so let's square the accounts without slowing down the game
or Lagosta that said between us no one cares about that rock AAHAHAHAAHAH !!!!! XD XD XD

Sorry mate. No more changes to the map. I just don't want to do any more additions. Everyone has their own particular wishes and preferences and they are all legitimate. But I just don#t have the time for it.

Ok quiet, in fact I thank you for your availability, however, could you kindly give me the links for the programs and any tutorials to add provinces to the E3 map so I can personalize it on my own? :)
Maybe if you know some video tutorials that you can pass me I would be grateful to you :)
