Map Request

Post by North_Wolf »

I love the fact that Gettysburg has a map that is based on what the commanders of the age had access too, but I am having some problems reading it in game.

Would it be possible to allow for the map to be bigger (full screen). The map is functional, but it feels more like trying to read something written on a napkin (this could be a resolution issue). I am mostly noticing this since I do not know the battlefield areas well and I am using HITS.

Perhaps a choice of small/large version would be the best of both worlds. :)

If you want bigger and better readable maps I can reccomend MTG's couriers and maps mod:

It will also enhance the courier commands.

There's also ADukes excellent mod, but they're not like the historical mapping.

Thanks guys, I will paste the links to a txt for safekeeping.

Since the game is still brand new for me, I figured I would wait with modding it until I am a bit more settled.

Is there a printable map available? (that might actually tide me through until its mod time).

You can always print the mini map DDS files. Go to the Maps folder, find any file with the map name ending in MM.dds. You'll need a DDS viewer to view/print them (infranview is a good one).
