I've always wonder why Firaxis never fixed the tooltips for UU/UB/UI during the civ selection screen. It was one of the reason I put down CiV vanilla for a break. Now I am just sad that BNW is out and they still haven't fix it. I'm just going to assume they will never fix it and so here a quick mod for those that are not familiar with each civ's unique bonuses.

FAQ:
Does it affect acheivements?
It should not. If you are worried, save the game once the map is generated, then reload it without this mod.
 
Straightforward solution to something which was glaringly missing from the official game.

It's nice to see an actually informative list when starting a new game, even as a experienced player.

Good point. Although I just had them both active without issue this last game.

The tooltips only mods is nice if you'd rather avoid more invasive changes.
