I wouldn't go that far....one of the main reasons I use MapMod for panzer campaigns is because I had trouble differentiating between streams and rivers.

In Caseblue there are many things that annoy me about the map, but I do understand that what one person finds nice, another person may find yucky. So I borrowed from other peoples mods the things that I like, and changed the things that I want.

One of the things I changed was the rivers. I made the streams thin lines, and added 'banks' to the Volga and Major Rivers.

You can see what I did in the Trippin the Trappen AAR such as this:

In the mods forum I will upload a zip of my rivers.

Particularly when a river runs through a city, it can be quite hard to see sometimes.

Status: offline 		Perhaps CB could just switch to the river graphics used in WtP--- for whatever reason, perhaps a slightly darker color, the rivers in the first game just jump out a lot more.

For that matter, I like the field graphics in WtP as well. Perhaps they could be added as well in spots just to give the CB map a touch more variety.
