We Want Straits and Mountains
This mod adds ~40 new straits and passageways to the vanilla map adding much need strategic value for islands and island chains such as Sicily, Malta, Crete, Ceylon, The Philippines, Singapore, Indonesia, Okinawa, Hokkaido, Honshu, Sakhalin, Aland, Saaremaa and more! Now enemy and AI navies alike will no longer bypass miles of defended coastline to naval invade or establish naval supremacy deep within the heartland of your empire. Coastal batteries in WW2 could fire at passing ships up to 35 miles away, hopefully coastal forts could one day represent that in HOI4, but Paradox rarely bother to add strategic features in their DLC.
Additionally this mod adds impassable terrain to:
– French/Italian Alps
– Pyrenees
– Rock of Gibraltar
– The Carpathians
– The Caucasus
– Turkey
– Mongolia
– Finland
– Urals
– Siberia
– Norway
– Southeast Asia
– United States
In the future I will update this to add more impassable terrain to more places. No longer shall the Wehrmacht have sherpas in every tank battalion.
The mod only edits adjacency map files. Any other mod that changes vanilla province tiles on the map has the potential to cause wacky behavior with the strait tiles that need to be controlled.
Please let me know of any bugs or suggestions/changes to impassable terrain and straits in the comments!
