[Abandoned] Immersive Cities

How do I get this to work since it doesnt work currently for me
.

It is a great pity that Paradox hasn't made it easier to do mods like this.

I wished someone would implement the Kaiserreich province/city images into the base game

So there is nothing to do. Thanks a lot anyway.

Maybe Kaiserreich found a way to fix that? I'm probably not a quarter as capable as they are, afterall. They completely reworked the ideological system in a way that completely baffled me so... You may be better off asking them.

So how this is implemented is you have the basic terrain types; Forest, Hills, Mountains, Urban, Desert, etc. Only it adds new terrain types by the dozen; Berlin, London, Madrid, Rome, Moscow, Spokane.... on and on. Each only appears once on the map, replacing a single province, but it is for all intents and purposes completely new type of terrain. To my knowledge there is no means of applying pictures to terrain types other then defining a new terrain type.

The really messy part is that the way that different division types react to terrain isn't defined within the terrain files but within the regimental templates. This means you have to define effects for every single type of regiment (airborne, light tank, light td, light aa... ad infinitum) repeated for every single city you add. And the User Interface treats every city you add as a terrain type on the same level as Desert or Plains which means miles of junk in places like division designer.

So many textual errors. I kept on getting distracted when I wrote that.

For all I know there might be a way; I didn't know everything about HoI4 modding even back when I was actively modding it and intervening expansions may have added new modding options. Possibly.

But I do not see how it could be done which at the end of the day is all I can go off. It also doesn't seem like the kind of modding feature - entirely cosmetic, kinda esoteric - which Paradox would go out of their way to code and include in a patch in HoI4 or any of their other titles. Generally Paradox'll introduce new mechanics and then focus on how they can make that mechanic moddable.

I see it was bad. So would you make a just cosmetic mod like this? So even if it only changes the pictures of certain capitals. I play for that only picture of Berlin. Can't you somehow make Ironman compatible?

@R4VeN
The why it isn't ironman-compatible because it isn't a cosmetic mod. It doesn't alter the graphics for provinces; it alters the provinces themselves with new types of terrain. As Scotvince noted it badly affects the UI of the game in places.

It is a really dirty, messy and unwieldy implementation but the only way I kind find to make work. Which is a large part of why I stopped working on it 3 years ago.

Why This Mod Not Ironman Compatible ? This Mod Realy Good
