Additional Map Modes Pre-Banks

Game version: 1.4.*
Last updated: 2017.4.15
Not Achievement compatible (even though it doesn’t change checksum).

If you are looking for the Banks mod version that version can be found here.

The mod is composed of two parts.

The first one is a fix to the game’s UI to allow the Map Mode container to be scrollable and moveable across the player’s screen. There are additional patches to the UI depending on the player’s choice/preference that can be found in the Supporting Mods section below.

The second part of the mod is that it adds a total of 22 different "core" map modes to the game by bringing 4 mapmode mods together into one mod. Some of the older map modes have been udpated to incorporate changes that have been made to Stellaris by Paradox or have been reworked to show additional information.

The map modes included are:

Further description

Some map modes are limited to the base game’s options.

Most of the localisations are only in English. The German translation by Swiss Halberdier is compatible with the "Deutschkorrektur" Mod (German Community Language Correction Mod). If this mod is used, then the tooltips for the icons are displayed.

A list of mods that support has been added:

• Fallen Empires Expanded – Full internal support has been added as of the v1.3 update.
• Mass Effect Theme Pack – Full internal support has been added as of the 2017.1.8 update.
• Star Wars Galaxy Divided – Full internal support has been added as of the 2016.12.22 update.

Additional UI patches:

• UI Patch – Replaces the new Map Mode container with the base game one and reduces the number of slots from 12 to 11 so icons will not go off screen
• UI 1080 Patch – This is for the UI Overhual 1080 mod. Makes the icons appear in a more horizontal fashion instead of as a column
