[Resource] Crusader Kings II Maps

[Giraffe Upon Z]

Updated version from base game, based off provinces.bmp from 2.7.1 (BPAH).

Some time ago there was some changes to the borders and rivers around the Balkans.

*edit* and an island off modern Russia, and some mountain ranges. And a province in modern Egypt. And a border in Sweden. In this .gif I scientifically click back and forth between them so you can spot the differences. See for yourself!*end edit*

This is is a transparent PNG based off the action Meneth wrote that I ran in Photoshop (which to my continual discomfort I am actually paying for nowadays...), and if you use something like GIMP to drop it as a layer on top of a mapmode screenshot from a game of CK2 you'll add the borders.

Thanks again Meneth for creating and sharing the action, people like you keep amusing CK2 stories and AARs coming.

Is this alive? Where I can find blank map with only provinces on white background for 2.7.1?

I can help!

2.7.1 BPAH borders, on white in a PNG here (271KB)
The same as above but in a BMP, and FAR bigger filesize (18MB?!) here.

As I'm sure you're aware, bitmaps are entirely uncompressed.

I am. But images that aren't high res photos yet don't fit on floppy disks are something that will always alarm me until the day I die.

I hear ya. I still remember being totally amazed at the first flash drives being able to hold 50 floppies worth of stuff. Now I have an SD card about the size of my pinky nail that can hold 4000x that.

That's pretty interesting. I didn't actually notice most of those changes. I wonder what the next map changes will look like in gif form.

More forthcoming map changes announced on Monday, details in DD#67 here - https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/foru...-diary-67-revisiting-the-middle-east.1044508/

I'm aiming to release updated images of it within a few days. Might not do the before/after this time though. And if anyone wants to beat me to the punch, they're more than welcome to.

UPDATE FOR THE 2.8.0 PATCH (ACCOMPANYING TODAY'S JADE DRAGON DLC RELEASE)

This is the new map image set.

PNGS:
Black borders on a white background
Black borders on a transparent background (the overlay layer version)

BMP:
Giant sized black borders on a white background (I make no promises regarding how well mspaint will work with 18MB of this)

EDIT:
Clicking back and forth 2: Electric Scientific Boogaloo. Asside from all the Himalayas there's things to notice.

• Sardinia and Corsica have more provinces now
• Middle East borders all kinds of overhauled.
