I for one loved the "vanishing border effect" where the borders disappeared if you zoom out. And I'm just not a fan of the border style. I loved the more elegant borders.
Last thing is that I like the more vibrant colours... yet these colours all seem a bit dull (don't know the right word for it.) But I have no idea if that's because of this mod tho.

Obviously just my personal opinion. Still love the mod but just not my style now.

Which mods would you like to see back into the game? Because most of them were made redundant due to the existence of new/better mods.

I absolutely loved this mod... Now nearly all the good mods are inactive... bummer. I'm afraid I will unsub for now. Hopefully you can integrate them soon! You are the best!!
(No shade!)

Got two versions,
The first one has seasonal effects
The second one has it reduced by 50%,
The third one's the current mod's version.
If you want the borders only or something, I can do them over the 3rd one or any aesthetic you might want from the other versions.

Alright, very well, thank you for your input lads! Working on the next update, I'll be watching for any suggestions in the meantime!

something i was a big fan of on the old version was the darker water and the clean/thinner province borders that didnt have a dotten line. with this mod i preferred to have state borders off since each country looked so clean with almost no borders inside of it. i think there was quite a few really good changes with the new update but i definitely liked the last updates aesthetic more.

@ItsYeWolfie

As a mod developer I understand and feel your pain, no worries man.

I love the big UI, but sadly it makes modding a pain since i prefer to use a windowed mode while modding which sadly makes clicking most things impossible, though when doing MP with friends the big UI is great, and I love it so much more. That's not really a suggestion since there's not much to be done, just something that makes me big sadge :(

I preferred the flat and slightly brighter look personally, not so much the dotted splotchy darkened look that it currently has and not a fan of the dotted borders.

Regardless though, I do still use it over vanilla so you still got a sub from me no matter what, been using your mod for quite a long time over all the others I've tried.

What did you like the most out of the old version? I'm open to suggestions.
Although I truly liked the old version as well, most of the mods are outdated (example aesthetics, tried re-integrating it and updating it, but it's a hell of a mess), though I could seek into making them work again cause I really liked the old one better, this one was kinda a rushed update

Hey man, the old version looked much better.

This new version has so many changes that I am not fond of, anyway to revert to the old look or are you sticking with this one?

The modpack has been updated to 1.33, most of the UI mods have been made redundant due to the existence of UI a la Artemis, if you've got any suggestions, feel free to comment.
