dynamic strategy map?

**ZealotsACH** · May 16, 2009, 11:08 AM

i was playing some Chivalry TW and i noticed that the strategy map would change according to level of developement ie building a feudal system changed the landscape from lush greenlands to farmlands and such. how hard would this be to do for ExRM? just as a nice visual so you can actually see your empire developing the land it conquers.

hmmm are you sure? I played it too but never seen that. Can you post screenshots?

im positive. when you start out the land is green (depending on area of course) and undeveloped. as you once you build land ownership the land changes to reflect farms being built and so on. ill post a sceen when i get the chance but its easily checkable yourself. in my British campaign the strategy map changed pretty drastically once i built my kingdom up some. went from lush green hills and forests to having roads (of course) and farmlands and forest clearings.

I think what you're referring to is this:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

It is more pronounced in some areas of the map, but those added fields are what happens when you build first level farming in the Paris region. However, I've not noticed any further map enhancements beyond that first tier.

Is that M2TW? Would it be possible with the RTW engine?

It is possible in RTW, it happens when you build roads and farms.

Lol - of course it is, I wasn't thinking straight!

I guess all you'd need is a before and after image of the region, for each of the road options.

i never really played vanilla RTW enough to notice it but the only mod i've seen to have the roads AND farmlands appear is Chiv TW. i'm very limited on the time i have to try to do this myself so if someone would like to go ahead and get it going awesome. if not well then i may be able to do it in a time span of say a couple months at the least (unless it ends up being a simple process of making the image and pointing the file to its location). any help appreciated. i know i would very much enjoy being able to watch my empire not only grow but develope also.
