Orion (Mapping Dialect)

This page is about the mapping dialect. For the mapper HussarPL Maps HD, see here.
Orion is a mapping dialect created by Hussar HD Mapping. Dialect is a mix of existing Neo, Rainbow, Modern and Smooth Battles. It also includes Mapping with textures and dark outline effects.
==Features==
=== Classical version ===
*Dark Green for defending and Dark Red for attacking sides. If there are other wars, other color is used (usually blue and purple)
*Lighter color for war territories/surrendered countries
*Dark outline effects
*Major cities and/or capitals shown
*Every country/union/alliance has its own color
*Used font is Palatino Linotype (unnecessary)
*Dark gray color for unrecognized countries
*Timeline (day, month, year)
*City lights (not neccesary)
=== Countryballed version ===
* Hand-drawn countryballs
* Speech bubbles (not necessary)
* Countryballs and theirs eyes should be on the separate layers to make their "emotions" change without the need to redraw entire CB
=== Neo-Orion ===
Since Orion dialect has been created by Hussar many efforts to improve it were taken. Eventually a new, improved version of it was created. A large infobox on the right has been moved to the top left corner and greatly reduced, maps have got standardized and country names were deleted to be replaced with capital cities. To make maps looking more like Hearts of Iron IV ones, terrain texture was added as well, thus Neo-Orion version of dialect was created. However, it is still developing and might get even more advanced in the future. For now I am considering to show major cities on map as well, add event log to make my mapping a bit more interesting. Adding city lights and bringing back country names are taken into account as well. - Hussar
Summary of Neo-Orion features:
* Partially transparent infobox in the top left corner
* Standardized maps made by mapper himself (not necessary, though it is recommended)
* Capital cities instead of country names
* Terrain texture
Considered/to-do features:
* City lights
* Major cities
* Event log
* Country names
