Removing Mine Graphic from strategic map

**Callawyn** · January 04, 2009, 03:36 PM

I like being able to build mines in more provinces and on more types of resources, but the downside is that it becomes very difficult to choose destinations for merchants due to so many resources being covered up by Mine graphics. Is there a hotkey I don't know about to toggle such graphics, so I can see the underlying resource? If not, how do you disable them from appearing at all? I'm far more interested in being able to see which resources are where than in seeing whether or not the AI has built a mine in a particular province.

The mine resources only cover things you can be mine...Doesnt it?

Other than that, select the merchant, then hold your mouse over the resource. It will tell you how much money you get for it.

Without replacing the mine graphic I doubt you can turn it off. But if you mouse over a mine you can still tell what resource is under it.

well, for one you can just set your merchant on whatever is being mined. but like everyone said, just hover your mouse over it and you will see what you will make.

Caesar: how the heck did you get that stab to look so nice in your sig? are you using a mod or did you just get unbelievably lucky?

Got lucky. I recorded a custom battle between the units I wanted and replayed it in the cin-editor. I then just played the battle, paused it every few seconds until I saw a shot that was suitably brutal

The blood on the spear though has been photoshopped in

It was added in to the 1.2 patch (I think) and it's not exactly well advertised. But it's very good for getting those really close up screenshots. There is a guide on this forum somewhere on how to get it working with SS
