I'm sorry, but we all know there is only one way for computer systems and software - it's upwards towards stronger computers all the time! But if users with lower systems want a "light version" with costal cities only, I can add one, if they can't run this!

It's not a question of hardware, it's a question of the map being readable.
My tip: Do away with all the inland cities, you will have a fine mod. If you don't, you put unnecessary strain on the engine, and you gain nought in terms of the map being more informative.
Rule number one in technology = Keep it simple
Another request/advise would be not to touch the lat/long position for any port which was in GW/RuB/NYGM before you started this mod - and talk about new data with the makers of the most important mods - otherwise you will create problems with most mods in existence, harbour traffic etc.
It looks like a great addon!

So basically you're saying, you want a light version? If many ask for it, I'll make a light version! So when this gets done, and I would call it alpha! I'll make a poll in the forum and ask for full or light! At least 5 should ask for a light version....
Personally I want the full version! Sometimes during a mission in a campaign, I would just look on Europe, Africa or Asia and see for the war progress! And that's the whole purpose of this mod! And it may be unreadable when zoomed out to the level, when the cities appear/dissapear, but zoomed in it's fine!
Yes, I know that changing some harbours could effect harbour traffic! But this mod is based on my GW-UA, where I have updated the harbour traffic and moved scripted ships as necessary. I can't be responsible if other mods like NYGM would need update on this matter, when I never used it! If NYGM mod team wants to add this mod, then fine, then they must/may adjust the harbour traffic! GW users, well you may have a few problems here and there, and thus some editor work would be necessary! But again it's not that many cities, which I have changed, in fact mostly I have added ports which weren't in GW, some I did put in myself, some were made in UBWA. They'll be empty with NYGM, RuB or GW, but I intend to put traffic in these ports with GW-UA.
However, I realise that I can never satisfy everybody! Somebody will always have a problem or two with mods. Then again, personally, I don't mind if other modders mod my mods, so if you want to, then fine!
