disliked the mod

[phillip1882]

So first things i liked. lots of options to get the interface you desire. the tech tree is a vast improvement. and tech research is handled very well, don't want to go too far too fast.
but its downsides make it unplayable in my opinion. in particular the tiles are hard to see bonus resources, what improvements you made, and whether they have a road.

I can agree that some details of the map could have better visibility. Perhaps someone knows if there tricks to adjust that? Or perhaps the bare map button could be improved?

Still I think the mod is great and highly playable.

Did you use the recent 3.7 version? I overhauled the terrain in 3.7 specifically with better visibility in mind. I can also suggest turning on resource indicators (one of the buttons in lower right corner)

I just started playing it this week and I have no idea what you ae talking about. There is a button in the lower right that shows resource Icons. Press it, you see resources. This is default Civ 4 stuff, not a mod. As for roads, cart paths are rough to see in a forest only, "roads" are easy to see, as are paved roads. Maybe you need to adjust your quality settings or contrast/gamma on your monitor?

i should be able to see bonuses without the resource indicator. and the problem of visibility isn't just bonuses. improvements in general are difficult to see.

@Walter Hawkwood
Is it easy to use the Blue Marble 4.0 Gold (https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/blue-marble-v4-0-gold.295876/) in RI? Also interested in additional using the new-roads mod if possible. (https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/new-roads.136716/)

Blue Marble terrain is an actual option you can select in the installer.

Blue Marble terrain is an actual option you can select in the installer.

Is this the 'better terrain' option, or what it was called? I had a similar concern where after patching my terrain looks very smudged

 

[Walter Hawkwood]

No, again, this is an option in the installer. Also, and alternatively, you can download the pre-3.7 terrain: https://sourceforge.net/projects/civ4mods/files/Old Terrain/
