THE DUNGEON MASTER
I'm new to CIV and BTS and I'm looking for a good interface mod. Nothing special, just something to streamline game play. I'm playing on warlord, either as Brennus, Saladin, or Roosevelt.

BtS Unaltered Gameplay (BUG) is what you need.

Yes, BUG is the mod as far as interface goes. It adds so much more information to your screen. I just can't see playing the game without it anymore. It doesn't really change anything, it just adds more info.

BuG as a mod with BetterAI folded in is my choice.
As for streamlining game play, figure out what you need to do every turn, every 5 turns or what can wait for every 10th turn.
For example, I won't check on every city every turn. Instead I will only do a full review of all my cities about every 10th turn (on Marathon, sometimes 15-20 turns). In the meantime, I rely on BuG to tell me about unhappy/unhealthy cities or check the F1 screen every turn or three.
I also won't queue up hundreds of turns worth of buildings. I generally build one or two things, then I'll get prompted and given a chance to re-examine the city. Which gives me a chance to change which tiles are being worked or what specialists there are.

One note on that idea. If you have a city build a particular unit indefinitely, it's not really a good idea to also give it a rally point. It's very easy to forget about things if the same unit just shows up a certain location, but if it actually starts out at the city it was built in you can have a chance to look in there and see if it needs anything.
