Faster Loading

This MOD is compatible with version 1.36.0.

---

This MOD replaces the existing loading screens with simple images, in order to shorten the loading time by reducing the total size of loading screen files.

The loading screens of Europa Universalis IV are all fine, but there's also the fact that the total size of them is large (639 MB in vanilla).
Depending on the environment, this large size would have a severe impact on the time required to start the game (and the player's motivation for the game).
This MOD provides players with an OPTION to reduce loading times by compressing the total size of files loaded as loading screens to 5 MB.

This MOD is NOT intended to negate the ingenuity of graphic artists.
Please also note that there are probably other factors involved in the loading time, so I cannot guarantee a faster loading time in ALL environments.

This MOD only replaces images, so it can be used in all languages.
