Ultra-detailed Central Europe Map Resource

Updated to 1.11, there are a few errors in the log but nothing that matters

Description

Made by me and JazzyHugh (who has been incredibly helpfull), for over two months

This is Ultra-detailed Central Europe Map Resource, featuring 1972 states following internal borders of the nations. Every state has an accurate population figure, obtained from different census scans, and the borders were adjusted to allow WW1, interwar, WW2 and modern day borders.

It follows the EPSG:3068 DHDN / Soldner Berlin map projection, and use once again real life accurate data for terrain cover, heightmap and rivers.

The mod is bug free, and is ready to use for modding.

Here's a link to my Discord, where I post teasers and screenshots for my map resources in advance: https://discord.gg/WFC8FdNZT5

Future Updates Planned

• Additional start dates (1939, 1941, 1945, modern day)

• Additional tags (Regional divisions, some historical breakaway countries)

• Adjacencies (straits and canals)

• More rivers

What is NOT Planned (I might still integrate it if you send me the files)

• States names changes

• Victory Points

• More province modding

• Gameplay content

Of course, if you do any of these work, and want me to integrate it, feel free to contact me on Discord.

Possible mod usage

Although it is playable, it is more intended as a modder ressource for total conversion mods. Since it uses accurate borders, most of the map work for most scenarios has already been made.

This resource is best suited for scenarios such as a German civil war, an Austro-Hungarian civil war, a divided Germany or an Austria-German war.
