</details> <details> <summary>Patch Notes Version 2.0.0</summary>

• Updates:

  • Adjusted the mod for GU18:
    • Make compatible for usage via mod.io (previously island textures were missing)
    • Drastically reduce file size with the new possibilities of Loader11.

• Adjustments:

  • Made a version available which uses a randomized map template for the New World (primarily for usage with mod.io, advanced users may use iMYA for more tweakability)

</details> <details> <summary>Patch Notes Version 1.2.0</summary>

• Adjustments:

  • In order to keep the file size low, I split the mod into two mods: "Muddy Rivers removed" and "New World Expanded". The first only replaces the NW island's river colour with a blue one. New World Expanded is the main mod, adding the reskinned islands!

• Updates:

  • Adjusted the mod for better usage with iModYourAnno v0.5, default map template used is now "Corners". Fixed the issue with multiple people having a endless loading loop due to faulty iMYA tweaking. No matter what you tweak in iMYA, you will now always get one of the three map templates.

</details> <details> <summary>Patch Notes Version 1.1.0</summary>

• Updates:
  • Update the mod to only use one mod folder instead of the separate installation directories.

</details> <details> <summary>Patch Notes Version 1.0.0</summary>

• Updates:
  • Updated all Island Files to GU16 version.
  • Added Enlarged Map Templates for GU16 (new Savegame required, old map templates won't enlarge themselves to the new ones, but use the old extension)
  • Updated muddy rivers with new Islands from GU16
  • Prepared modularity through iMYA, right now only the map templates are modular, if you want to disable the new islands or don't want muddy rivers, you have to manually edit the assets file right now (remove the <Include> Tags with the appropriate xml-File).

</details> <details> <summary>Patch Notes Version 0.1.2</summary>

• Fixed a bug where some islands didn't get the new texture. Please download the latest release and overwrite the download of v0.1.0!

</details> <details> <summary>Patch Notes Version 0.1.1</summary>

New World Expanded: Reskinned Old World Islands for the New World

This module contains 15 reskinned OW islands to use it in the random pool for map generation in the NW for more variety in the session where you normally find all the same islands again and again. The Islands have no new mesh, only the textures and props are replaced to fit the NW.

Have a look for yourself how good some variety in the NW actually is and what you can think of, maybe a little tropical touristic paradise?

In anticipation of upcomming mods I also integrated functional river slots on them. ~~For now, there are no river buildings, so you can't use them for anything apart from admiring the effort I had to find suitable positions for them.~~ Fully compatible with my mod River Slots which adds 11 new river slot buildings to the OW and NW!

New World Expanded: New Map Templates for the NW session

This module contains 3 new map templates for each region size (large, medium, small) which you can choose at game generation.

• Corners: Inspired by OW corners map template with large islands in the corners and small ones in the center of the map.
• Island Arch: Inspired by the OW island arch template with the majority of the islands in the bottom of the map and only some small ones to the north/east.
• Pirates Den: All big islands are located tightly around the pirates slot, so it is quite dangerous to settle and trade there.
