Domination 1914 NML relief (black lines update?)
-
I did a quick black line for this relief so that it would work properly with the tripleA territory highlight effect.
Basically kept everything else the same as what's currently in the package, which I think is the one Imbaked put together? Anyhow I kept the same land pattern and ocean pattern and such, just inverting the lines for the borders to get the fx to work.
I remember at one point I was able to almost get a white borderline highlight going for some the higher resolution maps (like with fatter borders and a duo tone), but couldn't figure out how to get it looking decent for this one.
Instead I just kept the ocean glow he had and the sea zones labelled in white, but everything else just switched to black line for the borders and added a little bit of blur to knock the edges for smoothing. I also removed my misspelled handle in the little title box to the lower right. It read Triplelk there instead of TripleA Elk or Black_Elk or whatever, which just looked confusing. I couldn't match the kerning on what was done in 2010 or whenever it was modded last, so I just ditched that with a slide over. It had my name in parenthesis so it's whatever. I just wanted to see if I could get the lines working. There's not a lot of room from the base to do a border blur but 3px with a little gaussian looked decent to antialias the line which seemed a bit choppy otherwise, especially at 200% zoom in 2.6.
Looks like this...
Should work with the highlight feature now for TT select or edit more and such. Here is a relief
Came in at like 16 mb in case someone wants with the TT highlight thing, which makes more sense for functionality to me.
Didn't have time to do much else for it, if I ever upscale I'd probably use the projection for UHD global or GCD and just rework the circles as TTs or SZ since I already have a topo for that one. Probably would take a long time though to retrace all the sz divisions and get the TTs to match. Hepps had it like halfway there though so maybe. I have some WW1 themed unit graphics at 54px but not enough for the full set on this one. Anyhow, this just seemed more expedient and probably closer to what people are used to playing with just to do a Black line relief for it so it'd work for edit mode and the the tile selector to light up properly. Let me know if that works for ya.
If someone wants to update the relief tiles in the default folder here they are...

@black_elk love it!
