Description
What does this do?
Swaps the terraforming effects of "Marching Winter" and "Flash Freeze".

With this mod "Marching Winter" only changes the terrain theme to arctic, but the terrain overlays (plains, forests, mountains, etc) remain as they are.
This prevents large winter domains with only one forest or mountain tile. It can't destroy mountains anymore.

"Flash Freeze" now changes all tiles in the province to snow except one of each of the other overlay types.
(If you use this on a forest, it will turn all tiles except one into snow)
It can't destroy mountains either.

What if I still want to destroy mountains?
From the Tome of terramancy use the Spell "Earth shatter"

Known Issues:
The bonus for snowy terrain isn't applied if the province doesn't contain snow or ice terrain.

Sadly it seems the mod doesn't work anymore. With it enabled marching winter will no longer show up in your spellbook to cast it.

Hello,
1.03 has changed the behaviour of Marching Winter such that it no longer levels mountains. However it still destroys forests.

@Maal Yes that is correct. The theme sector property isn't exposed to the packages i've edited to make this work. I requested this to change in modding forum, so let's hope some devs see this.

The theme sector property is necessary to make the bonuses work. I will look for a workaround when i have time to work on my terrain overhaul mod.
For now, treat this as a known issue.

I seem to have found an issue with this. It doesn't appear to be working on all tiles correctly.

The snowy look+forest works. That's fine, but the bonuses and tags doesn't appear to work.

I have a 5 provinces affected by winter this way, but only 3 gives the food/prod bonuses, of these 5 provinces their tags are:
The town itself
Forest Rocky Snow
Forest Cliff
River Rocky Forest Snow
Forest River

5 provinces that look snowy, 3 bonuses, 2 without the snow tag.
Reloading an earlier save to see the orignal tags...
The town itself
Grassland Forest Rocky
Forest Cliff
Grassland River Rocky Forest
Forest River

So it appear that if there is no terrain tag (grassland), it doesn't get the snow tag for the purpose of bonuses.

Thank you!

@ Hebrux Yes i could make this mod, it's actually a planned part for my terraforming overhaul, but currently i have very little time to work on it. Maybe next month.

Could you make another mod to add a terraformer for forests? The vanilla one has us terraforming manually

guys you know me

I will admit I was greatly confused by this, and I'm glad this mod exists! When I first used the Marching Winter spell I found it crazy how it shattered mountains and allowed me to actually settle in some areas if it opened up the central tile of the province. Cosmetically as well it became a problem because I wanted to have this beautiful realm of snowy forests like something out of Narnia, but anything that wasn't already snow got whacked.

thank you for this, it seems like a mistake from the dev that it is the other way around in game.
