Compatibility:
More Navigable Rivers is a map mod so things that change province mapping will be incompatible with it. Unless a compatible version is released this mod will not work with things such as Different major versions of CK2, such as those before 2.8, or mods that change province mapping; like The Winter King, Typus Orbis Terrarum Partial, or Umbra Sphere.

By design this mod changes little outside of the map file, so mods that don't or minimally interact with the map file, like Princes of Darkness, Mythos, Rise of Islam, or Advanced Trade Systems, should be able to run along side with little or no issues.

In the end I make no guarantees which mods will and won't with More Navigable Rivers.

With all of this talk of wonders I am curious.
Would people prefer a physical "Canal of the Pharaohs" over the current abstraction of a "Suez Canal" for connecting the Mediterranean and Red Seas?
Baring in mind that because of a bug at least part of the Nile deltas eastern branch would need to be changed from a river into a sea.

When using this mod, the name of the county Alamut is huge, upside-down, and in the wrong place. See screenshot for details. Although I have other mods active in the screenshot, I confirmed that this mod is the problem by starting a new game with only this mod active.

Thanks for bringing this to by attention that name should now be back in its correct position.
