Extreme Heightmap+ (RETIRED - Now part of the Better Mechanics collection)

Description
Please go to the new Better Mechanics version of this mod: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3447167008


Have you ever thought that Vanilla terrain was too flat and boring? Well this mod scales terrain in a way that makes differences in terrain seem more extreme. Raising mountains and hills while flattening the rest of the terrain. As far as i know the first Vanilla + height map.

Note that this may give terrain heights that are not accurate to real life.

As far as I know, this should be compatible with most things. Any mod that edits the Heightmap and terrain folder will be incompatible. This is my first mod and will likely go through some changes as i learn the ropes. But if there are any compatibility issues please notify me. I am trying to figure out I can make mountains even taller by lowering the sea level for a future mod. So you can hope to look forwards to that if this is not enough.

Lite version for those who want less extreme changes: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3420605588

I HIGHLY recomend you use this with:

and

Yeah it's all cool, i don't know why i had to bicker so much about it bro so sorry for that lol.
Simple but a good mod :cleancake:

idk the building positions never seem to update correctly for me unless i randomly generate them for every province individually.
Also the BM team could plan potential other mods that might do map changes to be compatible with mine. I also just like the concept of a Bm mod collection where a growing collection of mods are properly planned out for compatibility.
I can probably try enabling comments for the other ones.
I mean there is also no guarantee that i will always be playing hoi4 in the future and making sure that it is updated.

You know that you can update unit and building positions by clicking a single button right?
And what's the potential? Changing a heightmap is not hard, i still just find it rare, besides we can't comment on the other mod.

You also need to update unit and building positions. The BM team also has much more talented map designers than me. So they could do way more cool stuff and potential future related mods in a way that is compatible with my mod too.

What's there to keep it up to date exactly? You just need to change a number on the descriptor file, besides paradox RARELY update their heightmap or map files...

1. I love the better mechanics mods
2. I don't have time to consistently keep it up to date and make improvements

Why did it taken over the better mechanics?
RogueEmerald  [author] Mar 18 @ 9:25am 
This Mod is now being taken over by the better mechanics team. So to ensure consistent updates and improvements please move over to the new version of the mod.
