[Sub-Mod] In heaven's map modifications for AGOT | The Citadel: A Game of Thrones Mod (2024)

These are my tweaked versions of theIn heavens Cartographic mapand In heavens Graphics overhaul mods (permission has been granted by 'In heaven' for me to post this here) for vanilla CK2, enabling them for the AGOT map. I am not responsible for the vast majority of assets in this mod.

Considering the fact I'm no expert map modder, this is NOT an exact replica of the original and will likely look rather different. Saying that though, I certainly hope they have their own charm that most will find appealing enough and that still fits the role of a decent map replacement for those who are looking for something a little different. But let's just say that I wouldn't recommend downloading them, expecting something as polished as the original!

For the Cartographic Map, to make it more 'usable' in political/cultural map modes, I have increased the saturation and decreased the transparency quite significantly from the original mod. In heaven himself has said on the original mod's page that, with default settings, it can be rather frustrating for anything other than terrain mapmode. If you prefer the original or seek to adjust it to your own tastes, check out this very helpful guide here that shows you how to easily edit both settings yourself.

This mod should be compatible with all other AGOT sub-mods that don't edit the map or terrain. If you wish to play bookmarks prior to the Doom of Valyria, you will need to download and enable the pre-doom versions of these map mods or they will not work properly. Also, unless the map in the main mod is modified in a future version, this should also be compatible with all future AGOT releases.

This is pretty much the 'complete version' so don't expect any significant alterations outside of bugs/error fixes. However I may make minor tweaks here and there in the future if my map-editing skills improve or there is significant demand from users to change certain features/aspects.

I've never used this mod for either vanilla or AGOT so I don't know if this is how it's supposed to look (it should be, all I did was replace any vanilla files with their AGOT ones). But CK2 shouldn't CTD now when you launch it with AGOT which is the important thing!

Just as a little side note, I've had to replace the 'colormap_water.dds' file with a third party image in order to correct an unsightly graphical issue. As such, the water colour may be noticeably 'lighter' (especially in the southern portion of the map) than it is in vanilla. Apologies in advance if its somewhat off-putting, but I think it gives the Summer Isles a nice tropical effect!

I might have a go at improving the quality of the water colour and coastlines after Christmas, keep an eye out

"unless the map in the main mod is modified in a future version, this should also be compatible with all future AGOT releases." I've been using this mod since i started playing AGOT, which was just recently, and it works fine if you use it alone.

With mods like Flat Water and stuff it might get glitchy. But i believe it does work with 1.8 fine, unless i've been playing my game glitched this whole time and i haven't noticed

Apologies everyone for my inactivity. I only rarely come on the forums and even that is normally so I can make the mods aware of any issues I run into whilst playing the mod. This is compounded by the fact I haven't really been playing the mod for the past few months.

Anyway, to reassure anybody about compatibility issues, this mod should indeed be immune to any future updates to the mod so long as the map is not altered in any meaningful way. Even if this happens, it will only cause a few annoying graphical issues which I should be able to correct with only minor tweaking of the colormap/terrain files.

Since I last posted, I have managed to get a hold of the base colormap_water file used in the original mod without the outline of the vanilla Afro-Eurasia map. As such, I have managed to create a decent parchment-coloured water version of the mod for download. Unlike the current, blue-coloured water version, the water areas of the map should be of a visual quality and style that's generally more in-keeping with the feel of the vanilla mod since it now uses the same water texture. The only changes to the original file is the addition of a simple blurred Planetos overlay to better define coastlines.

It shouldn't ever need updating. Same as with the Cartographic Map mod, unless the map in the base GOT mod is changed in any meaningful way, this mod should be completely compatible with any future update.

If you're asking about the water update that I said about a few months ago then yes, there is an updated version that I forgot to post here. Sorry about that!

Changes include the toning down of coastlines, which have had a significant saturation decrease in the warmer regions of the map to appear more realistic. This is most apparent in the Summer Islands and Sothoryos. The 'warm water boundary' has been lowered to just above Dorne, so traditionally cold/temperate regions such as the Vale, Iron Islands and Stormlands should no longer look like they have a balmy Mediterranean climate. Most importantly though, all landmasses (south of this warm boundary) should now have a coastline effect. Before, since I made the mod in a pinch, it was limited to mainland Westeros and Essos as well as a few larger islands/island groups such as Ibben, Leng and the Summer Isles.

The link in the OP has been updated to the newer version.

Obligatory screenies...

Hope you all enjoy!

I agree, when zoomed in a bit the color becomes far too light in my opinion. I love the rest of the graphical overhaul though.
