SCREENSHOTS
Since a few images can speak more then a million words, I prepared a couple slider-comparisons between vanilla and modded, these are from v0.6 and several features have been added in the meantime, such as total population indicators, production / growth turn-counters, and much more.
And for those unwilling to click external links, here's a static version of one of the screenshots above:
A couple of the animations which can't be shown in a screnshot of course (sorry for the darkened gifs, I messed up):
The hostility indicator
The readiness indicator
The unspent promotion reminder
FEATURES
Unit-Flags
- Bigger and completely redesigned, with a rounder and richer look
- Bi-chromatic visual language based on the player's colors.
- When multiple units are on the same plot, their flags are horizontally layed out.
- When units are on city centers, they reposition slightly not to overlap with banners.
- Flags have a small icon for ongoing operations (rest, fortify, sleep, etc).
- Units can be highlighted for readiness according to customizable criteria and animations
- Commanders have little dots around their flag indicating the count of nested units.
- A circle at the bottom shows commander level or unit tier and has an embedded unspent-upgrade reminder.
- Hostile units from all factions (major or minor) are highlighted for hostility in a customizable way.
- The flag of a selected unit is brightned as illuminated by the vanilla ray of light effect.
- Improved alignement and centering of elements such as unit-icons and healthbars.
- Healthbars can be made permanent instead of dynamic if you so prefer.
- Like the unit-flags, they are completely redesigned, with a rounder and richer bichromatic look.
- Have been repositioned in order to avoid overlapping as much as possible.
- They don't catch clicks anymore so to not interfere with unit-selection or drag-to-pan.
- They actually disappear when opening diplomatic screens (vanilla bug)
- Unit healthbars follow the same visual language as described for the main viewport.
- The extra-actions panel starts expanded by default.
- Complete visual overhaul following the same principles as the unit-flags (borders and such).
- The civilization's logo is shown instead of the leader's portrait.
- Brand new status-icons are now flat, thematic and inline with the settlement's name.
- Positive happiness is not shown anymore, and very negative happiness (angry status) has its own icon.
- New icons showing growth status and settlement type. Other elements have been removed instead.
- Red tint for non-majority religion icons has been removed.
- Smaller but bolder and tighter text for the settlement's name.
- Banners support the same hostility indicators as the unit-flags.
- Richer tooltips showing urban and rural population and more.
