    Just an update for everyone:

    The map itself is pretty much done now, we've been spending the past month researching historic names of settlements and provinces to make it as authentic as possible.

    However, the reason it is not being released just yet is because we also want to ensure that the pathfinding is perfect and that the AI will always act smartly in taking nearby settlements and doesn't "accidentally" go off course too often.
    I believe that once it is done, VanillaMod will then have the most polished and working map of all mods that are currently out there, as most modders don't bother coding in pathfinding for 100% of provinces.

    This process may take anywhere up to another month, maybe a bit longer for polishing up event scripts on final coordinates.

    At this point, I must once again express my utmost delight at having such a dedicated and hard working mapper in irishron2004. Thank you so much for working tirelessly on creating the perfect map.

    If there is a huge demand for the map right now though, I will consider putting up the current version, keeping in mind that the pathfinding is currently only a tiny bit better than that of the basic M2TW map.

    How it looks
