Civ5 Enhanced User Interface

Enhanced User Interface
for
Civilization V
Brave New World, Gods & Kings, or vanilla

UI changes require fewer clicks, display more icons, and show more mouse over tooltips. Information is organized more efficiently, using game XML data (taking into account any update by mods) rather than hardcoded blurbs.

No changes to gameplay, no effect on saved game load, no effect on game saves, can earn achievements, works in multiplayer, and provides no additional information to the player that is not already available somewhere (except when using the extended demographics panel).

Spoiler :

Over 100 features

Speed up your game and focus on game play

Spoiler :

FrontEnd: no more legal screen nuisances at game launch
FrontEnd: supports unlimited UU/UB/UI, for mods such as 3rd Unique Component Project
FrontEnd: can right click on stuff to access pedia pre-game
FrontEnd: when setting up a game, there are mouse over tooltips for unique civilization units and buildings, when you need them most
FrontEnd: the MODS menu allows Hot Seat mode with MODS! Some mods with CUSTOM load screens do not work (e.g. Earth 2014), some do (e.g. Advanced Earth and Barbarians Evolved)
FrontEnd: modded hotseat also works with scenario maps, but remember to select the scenario map in the drop down menu (I have not found a reliable way to automate that)
FrontEnd: the MODS menu allows direct access to modded Civilopedia, to learn about the mod before playing it
FrontEnd: the MODS menu directly launches scenario with custom load screens when only one exists, saving 2 more clicks
FrontEnd: the SCENARIO menu includes user-created content with custom load screens (in addition to Firaxis')
FrontEnd: easier main menu navigation (LOAD GAME reduced from 2 to 1 step, MOD launch reduced from 6 to 3 steps); some MODS still need to be activated via MODS menu when loading modded games
FrontEnd: load menu allows to select game type (single player, hot seat, multiplayer), shows game data on mouse over, and launch game with a single click
FrontEnd: StagingRoom no longer loads and hogs resources during single player games
Core: full game info database dynamic caching for speed: over 50 times faster than GameInfo, and to improve useability on low end PCs
Core: greatly expanded in-game mouse over tooltips for units and buildings, active Pantheon/Religion beliefs & effects, all based on game XML data, reflecting changes made by mods
Core: popup dispatcher for improved performance
Core: cache EUI settings (avoids noticeable lag when leaving the game)
ActionInfoPanel: diplo corner artwork by Zyxpsilon
ActionInfoPanel: if enabled in game menu - options - interface options:
- A vertical ribbon shows known civilizations and city states with mouse over tooltips, right click and left click actions
  - Civilizations are sorted by score. Their icon frame color shows the way they feel about you: friendly, neutral, guarded, denouncing, hostile. Small icons around the leader portrait indicate war, friendship (flower), open borders < >, research agreement, defense pact, and active player. To the right are their score and either total gold or gold per turn, depending on what you can trade with them. Icons shows available duplicate luxury resources they are willing to trade (theirs above & yours below), so you don't have to visit each leader to see if they have anything for trade (mouse over tooltips provides more details)
  - City states are sorted by influence, then by distance to capital. Each icon shows city state type and status relative to you: allied, friends, afraid, angry, neutral. Mouse over the icons shows detailed tooltips. To the right are ally flag and icons for quests in progress. Clicking on quest icons will jump to encampment if relevant. There are also mouse over tooltips.
  - Civilization ribbon is available within leader screens
    - can get diplomatic info about everyone while talking to a leader using civilization ribbon mouse over tooltips
    - can switch talking from one leader to another directly from within the leader screen by clicking on civilization ribbon icon, or return to the game by clicking on either your own icon or the one of the currently displayed leader; this function is disabled when your turn is not active, i.e. during other civilization's turns
  - Civilization ribbon player connection indicator: yellow = connecting, green = connected, red = host, mouse over tooltip shows ping, click to kick player (host only)
  - Control-click action on civilization ribbon leader icon to declare war (BNW only)
- Notifications are bundled by type: this means each notification icon may correspond to several notifications, and you need to left click to cycle through bundled notifications to see each one. Left click on a notification icon may also jump to the appropriate location on the map. Right click on a notification icon dismisses all of the notifications bundled with the icon. Shift right click dismisses notifications one by one.
ActionInfoPanel: display notifications for player's city population growth beyond 5 and for player's city border growth
ActionInfoPanel: when city acquires new tiles, resource is shown in border expansion notification
ActionInfoPanel: shrink size of the large top right buttons (culture, tourism, diplo, espionage...) they're pretty but waste space (thanks Zyxpsilon)

ActionInfoPanel: open religion popup immediately when creating or enhancing a religion with a great prophet
ActionInfoPanel: added Zyxpsilon's excellent artwork for diplo corner
ActionInfoPanel: enter key goes to next end blocking task
ActionInfoPanel: the icon of players who are not yet done with their turn flashes in the civilization ribbon

TopPanel: top panel bar now shows meters and remaining turns for tech, policies, faith purchase, great person
TopPanel: more top panel mouse over tooltips, exisiting ones give more info, such as extra resources that player and AI has, AI gold per turn, so you don't have to visit each leader to see if they have anything for trade (this info is also on the right side civilization ribbon)
TopPanel: strategic resource mouse over tooltip details how resources are used, local production, imports, exports (the numbers don't always add up, but this is a game bug)
TopPanel: happiness mouse over tooltip details how luxuries are used local production, imports, exports
TopPanel: the tech meter mouse over tooltip shows tech overflow cues
TopPanel: right click civilopedia actions
TopPanel: displays clock time if option is selected in game menu - options - interface options

Improvements: re-coded CivilopediaScreen is much more efficient, compatible with mods pre-game, and provides more data
Demographics: new module to provide detailed history graphs and replay map in-game (works with existing game saves, does not touch future game saves, unlike Robb's InfoAddict mod). This is a departure from EUI's philosophy to remain within the information bounds of what the base UI provides. Unlike the end game graphs and replay map, you can only see information concerning civilizations you have met and map plots you have seen, but that's still loads of extra info compared to the base game. So if you do not want this extra info, simply delete this folder (or simply don't click the new demographics dropdown menu).
Demographics: when using autoplay (with a mod such as Rhye's Catapult), the history graphs will automatically update as turns go by. While in game as an observer, you have access to all player's graphs.
City state status color now only blue when actually allied
More city state status info for vanilla game
and more...

Instructions How to video by PrimEvalCIV

Requires manual install in the game's DLC folder

Spoiler :

make sure your game is up to date at version 1.0.3.279 : EUI is incompatible with game versions older than 1.0.3.144 (such as 1.0.3.18)
exit the game (make sure Civ V is NOT running)
download EUI
open the game's DLC folder:
- on a PC usually it's ...\Steam\SteamApps\common\sid meier's civilization v\assets\DLC (replace ... by whatever drive and/or directory where Steam is installed)
  OR
- on a MAC (thanks AlanH), the DLC folder is inside the Civ5 application package, which is EITHER:
  - in case of MAC Steam installation: /Users/<user_name>/Library/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps/common/Sid Meier's Civilization V/Civilization V.app
  - in case of MAC AppStore installation: /Applications/Civilization V Campaign Edition.app
  This path seems to be hidden by default in 10.10, to reveal it you'll have to open a finder Window, reveal the "Go" Menu and press the "Alt" Button on your keyboard. An item "Library" will appear, containing the path described.
  Then right click the app icon and select Show package contents, then access the DLC folder inside EITHER:
  - Civilization V.app/Contents/Home/assets/DLC/
  - Civilization V.app/Contents/Assets/Assets/DLC/
  OR
- with Linux: ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Sid Meier's Civilization V/steamassets/assets/dlc
remove any previous version of EUI (delete the entire UI_bc1 folder if one already exists, don't just overwrite)
extract from the downloaded zip and:
- copy the UI_bc1 folder to the game's DLC folder (step 4). There can only be one such UI_bc1 folder in the entire ...\Steam\SteamApps\common\sid meier's civilization v\ folder tree, and it MUST be in the correct location: ...\Steam\SteamApps\common\sid meier's civilization v\assets\DLC
- copy the EUI_text_*.xml file(s) to the following folder:
  - PC: <user path>\Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5\Text
  - Mac OS X: ~/Documents/Aspyr/Sid Meier's Civilization 5/Text
  - Linux: ~/.local/share/Aspyr/Sid Meier's Civilization 5/Text
  (download updated translations)
- delete the game cache, i.e. delete everything inside:
  - PC: <user path>\Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5\Cache
  - Mac OS X: ~/Documents/Aspyr/Sid Meier's Civilization 5/Cache
  - Linux: ~/.local/share/Aspyr/Sid Meier's Civilization 5/Cache
ONLY if your OS is Linux, you need to force conversion of every filename to lowercase, for example using the unzip command with -LL argument: 'unzip -LL EUI_zip_file.zip'
EUI is modular: if there are things you don't like or need or which conflict with mods you want to use (check the "mods compatibility" spoiler below), you can disable that part by removing the corresponding subfolder from the UI_bc1 folder. Check the feature list above to determine which module includes which feature to be disabled. Please note that EUI will break if its Art* or Core folder are removed.
in game menu - options - interface options - check whether you want a clock displayed on the top panel, a city list and/or a unit list displayed on the left screen side, a civilization diplomacy list on the right screen side
in game menu - options - interface options - set the desired delays (or no delay) for the map plot mouse over help / tooltips to appear using the big horizontal sliders (there are now 2 delays - basic and detailed plot help)
in game menu - options - interface options - check if the "No Basic Tooltip Help" option matches the level of mouse over info desired (this has more effects than before)
silent install: althought this is a DLC, it will not appear in the game's DLC menu, because it does not have a Firaxis Key. This package is a DLC because I could not get things to work as I wanted as a mod (legal screens, map highlights), and it works in multiplayer and you can still earn achievements... The main drawback is that EUI's folder needs to be moved manually in/out of the game's DLC folder to enable/disable

Game compatibility

Compatible with game version 1.0.3.279

Spoiler :

Mods compatibility

Should work fine with mods which modify the gameplay without changes to the game's UI (User Interface)

Spoiler :

Should work fine with mods which modify the gameplay without changes to the game's UI (User Interface), such as the excellent Acken's Minimalistic Balance for singleplayer (and AI improvements) v8. NOT compatible with other mods which modify the UI such as Community Patch Project, bnw quality of life modpack v5, Info Addict v22, NQMOD or Takmod...
EUI is modular: in case of incompatibility, try disabling conflicting EUI component by removing the corresponding subfolder from EUI's UI_bc1 folder (please note that EUI will break if its Art* or Core folder are removed).

Acken's Minimalistic Balance for singleplayer (and AI improvements) v8: compatible (and highly recommended) Manually delete the Imported/UI mod folder to avoid overriding EUI's improved yield icon manager[tested with EUI v29a]
Earth 2014 Scenario v2.4: compatible provided you manually delete the mod's "CityBannerManager.lua" file from its Lua folder (the only effect of this file is to break compatibility with EUI) [tested with EUI v29a]
R.E.D. modpack v27 (Regiment and Ethnic Diversity for Civilization V): should be compatible
Community Patch Project: NOT compatible, use the modded EUI provided by the mod
bnw quality of life modpack v5: only the old legacy EUI version is compatible
R.E.D. Xtended 2016-10-05: should be compatible, provided that the mod's "override" folder (and all of its contents) is removed
Communitas Expansion Pack: EUI 1.6 & CEP 3.15 are compatible. However CEP will override EUI's top panel, tech tree, and city view modules (see EUI feature list for details of lost functionality, one impact is that annexing puppets is only possible by clicking on the city banner's puppet icon, another is possible slowdowns late game because CEP UI files are modified Firaxis files not optimized to cope with EUI's enhanced tooltips)
Hulfgars Modpack (all versions): should be compatible, provided that the mod's included "AttilaResourcesTooltip" (entire folder) and "TechTree.lua" (one file) are removed
Australia Civilization - Colonialist Legacies: need to remove the UnitPanel.lua file from the mod
CIVILIZATION NiGHTS v5: a bit old, includes bugs that Firaxis has since corrected
- you need to disable EUI's TechTree module
- remove the mod's CityBannerManager.lua from its LUA folder and CityBannerManager.xml from its UI folder: EUI's is more advanced and up to date
- remove the mod's TopPanel.lua from its LUA folder and TopPanel.xml from its UI folder: EUI's is more advanced and up to date
- remove the mod's InfoTooltipInclude.lua from its LUA folder: EUI's is more advanced and up to date
- remove the mod's UnitFlagManager.lua, TradeLogic.lua, TechButtonInclude.lua from their LUA folder - they're not up to date and their changes are not very significant
Echoes of Ages - CiVilization Plus+ v70: should be fully compatible
Total Mod v7: should be compatible provided EUI's "TechTree" module is disabled (don't know if this old mod still works, though
Ingame Editor v39.1: compatible provided IGE_Overlay.lua and IGE_Overlay.xml are removed from IGE's BulkUI subfolder, or EUI's PlotHelp module is disabled. Also you may want to remove IGE's IGE_AlertStack, IGE_MiniMap, and IGE_NotificationPanel xml/lua pairs from the same BulkUI subfolder (they are only there to create potential problems), and change the location of the IGE menu button manually or automatically
Beyond the future v20: should be compatible
Really Advanced Setup v9: should be compatible
PerfectWorld3: compatible
History in the Making II v6: should be compatible, provided either EUI's "TechTree" module is disabled or the mod's ..\UI\InGame\TechTree files are removed
A Civ of Ice and Fire v3: must disable EUI's "TechTree" module, and things should work (but is this mod still compatible with the game ?)
A Mod of Ice and Fire (G&K v4 or BNW v1): should be compatible, provided you first remove the mod's entire UI folder (less advanced than EUI and not fully compatible with current game version)
Anno Domini v1: should be compatible, but will disable EUI's "TopPanel" module
City-State Diplomacy Mod v23: should work provided you remove CSD's own CityView.lua, TopPanel.lua, and InfoTooltipInclude.lua from its ...\Assets\UI\... folder (EUI's CityView.lua and TopPanel.lua are compatible with CSD, the reverse is not true)
Civ IV Diplomacy Features Mod v10: should work provided you remove CDM's TopPanel.lua from its ...\UI\InGame folder (EUI's TopPanel.lua is compatible with CDM, the reverse is not true)
The World of Tamriel v2: should be compatible
American Civil War Scenario v10: should be compatible, but will disable EUI's "TopPanel" module
Building Made Fun v15: the included addons (in the mod's "addon" folder) are not compatible
Falcon AI: Diplomacy v1: should be compatible
The Hundred Years' War v9: compatible except the mod is broken
Modern Warfare v6: should be compatible
Forza29 Huge Earth Map: compatible
Heroes of Might and Wisdom v10: should be compatible
Corporations v1: should be compatible, but you must either disable EUI's "TopPanel" and "CityBanners" modules, or remove the mod's "TopPanel.lua" and "CityBannerManager.lua" from its UI/InGame folder
Reform and Rule v19: should be compatible provided that mod's "InfoTooltipInclude.lua" script is deleted from its ".../Shared/Building Tooltip fix" (otherwise it may overwrite EUI's enhanced tooltips)
Medmod VI for Brave New World v5: should be compatible
Smart AI v2: compatible
Single Unit Graphics v10: should be compatible
Legendary Earth Mod (LEM) v7: should be compatible
Emigration v5: should be compatible, but you must manually disable EUI's (or the mod's) "CityView" module
Super Power Modpack v4.1: should be compatible, but you must manually disable EUI's (or the mod's) "UnitPanel" and "CityView" modules (EUI versions prior to v1.22 had a TechTree compatibility bug, but this should now be fixed)
Leugi's Israel Civilization v7: should be compatible, but you must manually remove that mod's CityBannerManager.lua from its "...\Incompatibility" folder (not needed since EUI doesn't talk to barbarians)
Cultural Diffusion v18: should be compatible, but you must manually either disable EUI's PlotHelp module or remove that mod's CultureUIFunctions.lua from its "...\Lua" folder
Whoward's mods: all of his 157+ mods (including UI ones) should be compatible, EXCEPT for:
- "UI - Notification Options"
- "UI - City Expansion"
- "UI - City Production Queue Enhancements"
Please note that some of these mods replace EUI functionality with different functionality, especially "UI - Improved City Banner", your choice
Please also note that you need to delete YieldIconManager.lua and YieldIconManager.xml from Community Patch (or any other mod using "DLL - Various Mod Components") whenever using with EUI (otherwise every tile yield icon is the little apple food icon)
Éa III, Sword & Sorcery: completely incompatible, Enhanced User Interface needs to be entirely disabled for this mod to work
Faerun for Brave New World v6: completely incompatible, Enhanced User Interface needs to be entirely disabled for this version of Faerun to work
Faerun for Gods & Kings v16: very limited compatibility , must disable EUI's "TopPanel", "CityView", and "TechTree" modules
S3rgeus's SiegeMod v1: very limited compatibility , must disable EUI's "ActionInfoPanel", "TechTree" and "TopPanel" modules
Total conversion mods (such as R.E.D. WWII Edition): don't even try

If you identify things which interfere with a mod, I can make reasonable changes, but time is short and the issue must be properly investigated first. This means I need a precise description of what is wrong, what is expected, lua.log, a game save, and if helpfull, screenshots.

If you have tested mods with EUI, please share your experience I will update the list when I get the time.

In case of problems

Double check proper install, then submit lua logs

Spoiler :

Please read the instructions carefully
Make sure your game is up to date at version 1.0.3.279 : EUI is incompatible with game versions older than 1.0.3.144 (such as 1.0.3.18)
Make sure your EUI version is the latest version from this website
Make sure any previous EUI version has been deleted before installing a new version !
Make sure the UI_bc1 folder has been installed in the correct location (see instructions): there can only be one such folder in the entire ...\sid meier's civilization v\ folder tree, and it MUST be in ...\Steam\SteamApps\common\sid meier's civilization v\assets\DLC
If you are using mods, try disabling mods to check for conflicts. Some early mods were folders starting with "z" that were put in the game's ...\assets\UI folder, those are not detected by the game's install or integrity check, you have to manually look for them.
In case of conflicts, try disabling conflicting EUI components by removing the corresponding subfolder from the UI_bc1 folder (please note that EUI will break if its Art* or Core folder are removed)
If problem persists, please report bugs at https://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=512263

How to report a bug

Report bugs at https://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=512263
What game version do you have?
What expansions and DLC do you have?
Do you play on PC or Mac?
Describe the problem
Attach a screenshot and/or a save game if you think it might help
To attach a file to your post: click "go advanced", then click "manage attachments"
If the problem is caused by a mod, what's the mod's name, version, and where did you get it (url)
Post your lua.log error messages (or better yet, the entire lua.log), either as an attachment (compressed to zip or renamed to lua.txt) or within a spoiler markup
The lua.log file is usually in ...\Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5\Logs. If it's missing or almost empty, you need to enable logging for debugging
Non-trivial problem reports without lua.log will get no response

How to enable logging for debugging

Close Civilization V
Open config.ini with a simple text editor such as notepad (usually in ...\Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5)
Search for the line "LoggingEnabled = 0" and replace it with "LoggingEnabled = 1"
Do the same with "EnableLuaDebugLibrary = 0": set it to 1. If this line does not exist, add it before LoggingEnabled
Save config.ini and close
Start Civilization V and reproduce the problem

Fair use

Please don't work around the user having to manually download and install the original author's EUI version
