AD1257 seems great overall. I've had it for ages and I have wanted to play it, but I can't really get into it because of a few graphical issues - I don't know if everyone has them or if I'm alone in this, but I thought I'd share.

First off, this: I.imgur.com
The map is extremely dark at night for me, with this weird blue filter, and not much better during daytime. Have tried to adjust brightness and gamma to no avail. Since many of the faction colours are also dark, it makes it very straining on the eyes. Is it supposed to be this way?

Secondly, this: I.imgur.com
I'm having this strange white glow on most of my troops. It's not very visible here, hard to get a good screenshot, but it's like half the troops (or half the armours, maybe) have this white shine on them that just looks really out of place.

Third, minor issue, but aren't the town/army minuatures on the map a bit small? I mean, sometimes it's hard to even tell whether it's a castle or a city or a village I'm looking at, or an army or nothing at all. It's not so much a problem as it is confusing, but there you go.

Anyway, the mod seems great other than that. Don't want to come across as petty; I just want to know if these things are intended and if they can be fixed somehow, because it makes it a bit hard to play at times. Oh, also, I've tried reinstalling it multiple times with and without shaders (it was way worse without the shaders, map was so dark that hardly any text was readable), so it shouldn't have anything to do with that.

It's necessary sometimes, unfortunately, when enemies get stuck in the air for example or the map on previous versions that was full of trees so the troops wouldn't even meet each other since they kept getting stuck.

Started a save as House Blackfyre. Getting tonnes of High Valyrian courtiers arriving monthly. Every single one instantly dies 'a natural death'. Had a bunch of hedge knights come by and took one of them into my service, too - High Valyrian. Died within a month. Not sure what's causing this, but I'm sure there is some error in the coding.

Can't seem to fully upgrade Ironborn melee troops. They go up to Ironborn Axeman but after that there is no option to upgrade them further. Is this intended or a bug?

(Also, have to say that this mod is utterly amazing. I've put so much more time into it than the vanilla game or any other mod, and it still remains consistently entertaining every time I play.)
