ERLEND'S INTERFACE IMPROVEMENTS
Interface upgrade pack for Civ 3
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These improvements to the interface were made by me for the mod "2021 EXPANSION". The full mod can be
downloaded here.

Useful for both the standard game and mods alike.

There are 11 upgrades to choose from. You can install all of them, or just the ones you want. They are independent of each other.





1. City Screen - emojis, white icons & color bars.png

1a.) CITY SCREEN: Colored bars show nationalities of citizens. Emojis show happiness. White icons show specialist professions.




1. Domestic Advisor - emojis & white icons,   2. All Advisor Screens - text on left sidepanel ...png

1b.) DOMESTIC ADVISOR (F1): Emojis and white icons work here, too.

2.) ALL ADVISOR SCREENS (F1 - F6): Text under the advisor portraits on the left sidebar, to make it clearer who is who.

3.) UNIT CURSOR: Animated red cursor (Fire Ring) saves a lot of time looking for the active unit. Especially helpful on large and busy maps. Can be seen on the Knight above the city of Uskudar
(a blinking red cursor also included).

4.) TEAM COLOR DISCS: The front half is drawn slightly thicker. Looks better, and easier to tell which nation they belong to
(the old extra thick version is included too).

5.) NATIONAL BORDERS: Drawn thicker and clearer. Easier to see on difficult terrain, like Jungles and Hills, etc.

6.) END TURN BUTTON: Changed from flashing blue & orange to flashing RED & orange. Much easier to see against green grass and blue sea.

7.) RAILROADS: The original railroads made darker and sharper. Look more industrial and realistic.




City graphics - enhanced.png

8.) CITY GRAPHICS: Original Civ 3 city graphics, enhanced. Cities look clearer and more colorful. All cultures, eras and city sizes included.




Menu buttons (comparison).png

9.) MENU BUTTONS: Redrawn menu buttons (Main Menu, Civilopedia, Advisors), in a style and color scheme consistent with the original game.




Civilopedia navigation arrows (comparison).png

10.) CIVILOPEDIA NAVIGATION ARROWS: Civilopedia navigation made more intuitive. Active navigation arrows and buttons are blue, inactive ones blend with the background.

11.) TECH TREE: Colored frames around tech boxes.
