The graphics in the latest sneak peek look very weird - almost like RTW at points (Am I correct in assuming those are imported RTW buildings?). It looks like someone's been meddling with the weather_db here:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Has EBII altered the climate types or weather patterns?

Those are DBM models, I also presume they're from RTW.

We've pushed back that ugly fog at distance seen in vanilla:

Sadly you cannot control the vegetation and terrain at high distances, it's hardcoded.
So yeah, in some cases it looks like RTW, if only that could be modded...

Yes I have.

I guess it's just a difference of opinion, but I think that the fog significantly improves graphical quality - at the very least, by hiding those hideous mountains. Thankfully, that's easily changed.

Does EBII use the same logistics system?

Of course it is, in some cases i looks worse in some better, you'll see this as we've changed the geography and may change your mind.

Logistics?

Logistics?

It's just a question that popped into my mind. EBI used traits, like "Rationing" or "Belts Tightened", to simulate army supplies. I just wondered if it had been changed.

While on the topic, though, does India have it's own climate and vegetation?

Too sudden the change, yes, it's still in.

Not in the first release, we're almost using all of the climate slots, only one is left and we will assess in the future where it's mostly needed.

Is the increased draw distance putting a strain on modern computers?
