The Trees!!!

[Sepulcher]

Hello PD devs I have a question to ask you.

My computer met reccomended requirments for crusader kings 2, and yet I still experienced lag in terrain map mode when I zoomed out in theSiberia or Finland area's. This is because of the trees, or more precisly, the tree shadows. My question is; will I experience this in Eu3 or is there a way to turn down tree details?

Eu3

EU3 didn't have trees

But considering how CK2 has a setting for disabling most of the graphical details (trees included), I don't see why EU4 wouldn't have them also.

No, Pre-Divine Wind EU3 had trees, remember?

And like Illanair said Crusader Kings II had the options to turn off trees, so Europa Universalis IV probably will too
Europa Universalis III had the option to turn off trees, even oddly enough, after they were taken out.

EU4 allows one to turn off the trees by pressing the Options Button as described in Section 2.4 of the Manual. I intend to turn them off since they have no function other than obscuring province names.

I never played EU3 previous to DW.

You should go back to your...roots

You missed a lot. Like 3D map (like the one EU4 will have, it was flattened later), the 3D city view and the joy of sending hundreds colonists and traders manually...
Difference between EU3 vanilla and DW is like between DW and EU4

Yup, it seems you get the option to pass a noble law, so that the trees are all kept equal, by hatchet, axe, and saw.

I like pretty maps.

I'll be turning them off until I upgrade my computer though. A 3 year old laptop struggles with them in CK2. I'm hoping I can make it eek out EU4 until the new year.

Btw, you can manually turn off the trees by editing settings.txt in My Documents/Paradox Interactive/Crusader Kings 2 (or whichever folder it is if you're using a mod)
On my (slower) laptop, I edit three settings:
draw_trees=no
draw_postfx=no
draw_sky=no

Or you can just turn off trees in the ingame menu. YOU can see this in the manual.

hey now.

we should leaf the puns alone for now.

on topic: had to disable trees here too. EUIV definitely has trees, and it will definitely allow you to disable, and after that, it will definitely have a very similar performance level to CKII. all this I somehow definitely know.
