Have always wanted this, and would pay to have it.

I also regret not being able to play in the terrain mode more often, but the political information is just so much more useful as the map mode to hang out in most o the time. This would be the best of both worlds.

That's a great look, I hope it would be implemented in one of the future patches soon.
Whats more, it would be great for some of the minor DLCs as well, since some of them work only on the terrain map mode (National Monuments) and that's really discouraging from getting them (I too play mainly in political map mode).

No problem to mod, as already included in NBRT+HR for MEIOU&Taxes.
Transparency etc of the "overlays" is full modable via shaders but not for each mapmode individual , as shaders "kicks in" for all mapmodes beside "terrain mode"

Would you mind sharing how you did that, as I'm sure everyone is eager to try it?

Don't things such as trees and still not appear? And if you'd be able to make them appear, wouldn't they still retain their green/whatever colors fully, looking very awkward on an otherwise semi purple/blue/red map.

Occupying stripes in terrain mapmode appear below trees and such so you're right. The main reason I can't play in Germany using the terrain map, it's impossible to tell who's holding what.

This would be awesome. I turn political map mode on instantly because I simply can't make out borders in terrain; but this would be brilliant. Especially if there was a transparency slider so you could get it exactly right.

10/10 would bang.. I mean, it's beautiful! Reminds me of my epic 1952 "new" world map hanging above my bed.. ehm.. don't normal people hang posters of their idols above their bed? I might be going crazy guys.

I play on the political map pretty much all the time, because the terrain map is just too cluttered and it takes too much effort to identify the borders, not just of countries but also of provinces within a country. The mockup in the OP looks great but really the most important thing to me is make it easy to quickly identify vital information.

Yeah, same. This is why I find the terrain map almost useless to me, but it looks really pretty compared to the political map. Give us a hybrid map!
