Very simple graphic change to remove the clouds that appear when you zoom out. Makes it more comfortable to use the strategy layer and other tools like the resource overview screen that can be filtered by resource kind.
The same effect can, I believe, be achieved by a change to an xml file. This solution has the advantage that it works with the HOF and BUFFY mods used for GOTM games, and only needs to be done once, rather than repeated for each mod.
I feel a bit of a fraud, posting what is essentially an empty file in the right format, alongside all the great works here. However I hope someone will find it useful, and it's at the limit of my graphics ability anyway.
To install, unzip the file clouds01.dds and copy*** it to the following folders depending on which game(s) you play):
My Documents\My Games\Civ4\CustomAssets\art\terrain\sky
My Documents\My Games\Warlords\CustomAssets\art\terrain\sky
My Documents\My Games\Beyond the Sword\CustomAssets\art\terrain\sky
*** You should rename any existing clouds01.dds files in these folders to facilitate uninstalling.
To uninstall, delete the file and rename any saved files back to the original name.
