Aesthetic Borders

THE SUCCESSOR MOD TO Aesthetic Cinematic Graphics has been RELEASED LINK: AESTHETIC CINEMATIC GAMEPLAY Aesthetic Borders is included in ACG => if you use ACG then you do not need to use this mod Compatible with 3. 1.* Save game compatible Ironman compatible About this mod I didn't like the look of the current borders and galaxy overview. In my opinion there were too many colours for each empire in the galaxy overview and it also didn't make much sense that the primary colour was used as border colour and the secondary colour was used to fill the space within those borders. I also didn't like that there was an unnecessary pin of each star to the galaxy map. So i made some simple changes (see first two comparision images vanilla and mod). 1. removed the pins from the stars 2. switched secondary with primary empire color => border color and empire color = primary color 3. downscaled the saturation for borders for an even smoother experience Two Color Empire Variant of this mod (+ additional separate Starpin version of it) Since this was a user request: here is the same mod but with TWO colors for each empire (primary color = empire color, secondary color = border color) And if you ALSO want to have back Starpins i.e. Two Color Border + Starpins - which was another user request, you can find it here This is a light weight mod. Basically compatible with every other mod that doesn't touch this file: gfx/fx/border.shader So basically if you dont use another mod for changing your borders you should always be just fine by using this one! This mod should also be up to date without an upgrade when the Paradox Devs release a new patch - since they very rarely touch this file. So you will be able to ignore any warning signs in case i don't upgrade the same day as new patches arrive. Other recommended mods The screenshots above include some other mods. Among those other mods there is one mod i really highly recommand using with this one (for the others, see list below). All of tho
