    Default Switching maps

    Hello!
    I was hoping to stitch out the currrent vanilla map in a mod with a beefed-up map that has more provinces. What files do I need to switch besides the actual map files and the descr_strat? Is it more complex by far than just switching some things out?
    No factions are different.
    Thanks!

    It's more complex you need to explain a few more things.

    Download Bare Geomod, it contains the original map and the necessary files to mod the map to your heart's content using the Geomod Tool. Check the manual as well.
    Please explain what you actual mean by 'stitching out' - maybe I am leading you down the wrong path.

    Hmmm...
    Using Alpaca's guide on making a provincial campaign, I am using the historically Relevant Strat Map to add a new campaign to Lands to Conquer. I believe most everything is in order, but when I click to begin the campaign, I am taken back to the custom campaign selector. Research indicates a descr_strat error, but the one error that I can find I don't understand how to fix. If anyone could provide me with insight, I would be most thankful.
    Cheers and thanks!

    P.S. Here is my error log and descr_strat. If anymore info is needed, I would be happy to give it.

    Fix this error:
    20:31:03.038 [script.err] [error] Script Error in landstoconquer/data/world/maps/campaign/custom/hrsm_campaign/descr_strat.txt, at line 1502, column 1
    Settlement specifies port, but this region is not allowed a port - can be ignored,but port building will not be created for settlement!
    There is a port added to this settlement in the descr_strat file, but a port is either absent or wrongly placed in the map_regions graphic file.

    Those were non fatal - that's why I skipped them.
