Standard World Map Mod
Standard World Map Mod, updated for 1.13. Not compatible with previous versions.
Original mod is at https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=804347118. All credit goes to the original developer.
Mod is compatible with any mod that doesn’t change the map defines – changing/adding states is OK as long as it doesn’t change provinces.
What does this mod do?
In short, this mod is a redrawing of the entire game map based on a real GIS (Geographic Information System) database.
The map in the vanilla game is extremely inaccurate, with many glaring errors. For example, the length of South America has been significantly shortened and the entire American continent has been deliberately moved northward. On top of that, there are a lot of various mistakes, such as over-exaggerated urban areas, oversized or misplaced islands, and so on.
The map modification does not add new states or provinces, nor does it change the attribution of provinces, which means it is compatible with many mods. Theoretically this mod can be used with other mods that do not involve map modification.
This mod uses a standard Miller cylindrical projection to redraw the entire game map. The content of the geodatabase is derived from NASA Earth Observations and Natural Earth.
This mod is not Iron Man compatible because it changes the map data.
