Flat Water Mod

Replaces the default fancy water effects shader with a flat shader so your graphics card does less work, good for low end systems. Setting draw_water=no looks pretty bad, so this some flat water.

This is purely a graphical mod, so it will work in multiplayer and iron man without causing checksum issues.

Useful when combined with options in the Documents\Paradox Interactive\Crusader Kings II\settings.txt file like


mapRenderingOptions=
{
draw_terrain=yes
draw_water=yes
draw_borders=yes
draw_trees=no
draw_rivers=yes
draw_postfx=no
draw_sky=no
draw_bloom=no
draw_tooltips=yes
draw_hires_terrain=no
draw_citysprawl=no
}
low_res_textures=yes

You could also try

force_pow2_textures=yes

but this might break character portraits.
