This mod includes 100 fictional maps, and improves the in-game terrain graphics.

To install, use 7zip or WinRAR to open GcmRandomMaps4a.7z after downloading it, and drag the two folders from the zip into your Mods directory. (Click here for a screenshot of installing a mod.)
After installing, this mod will take 2.3 GB of space.

Then start the game, go to your Modifications menu, and enable GcmRandomMaps4 and GCM_Terrain4. The maps will be available in your Sandbox menu and the terrain will be enhanced.

If you play the GCM Singleplayer Campaign, you can install these as normal, and the singleplayer campaign will add these to the mix of maps it uses.

Feel free to modify / redistribute these maps any way you wish.


Here's what the maps look like with the terrain mod enabled:

Absolutely fantastic, Garnier.

Thank you

Brilliant work, thanks!

It would be so, so cool to have you place buildings on your maps - did you?

[RDBoles]

Thank you very much for the maps. This should get me at least half way to next April for the Napoleon debut. Perhaps a few Historic maps of the American Civil War Western Theater will be added? My humble wish.

If I spend any time on maps it's to improve the map generation, not to work on individual maps by hand.

If anyone else has map-making access and wants to add buildings or anything to these and redistribute them, that's perfectly fine.

Great stuff, thanks!

Can I ask... would the new graphics slow the game down a bit? I installed them and can't help but think the game is slowing down a bit... My imagination?

[Garnier]

They shouldn't slow it down. Are you using the same map as you used to use? Or are you moving from a small or less detailed map to one of these random maps?

Many thanks, Garnier. A small team from the kriegsspiel group are intending to do just that!
