Wow, dude! 
This mod is just awesome! I think I'm in love.
The river layout system is quite tricky. I'm still trying to figure it out.
As for bugs: none to report that already haven't been.
Anyway, awesome work, looking forward to the next update and what it brings with it.

Love the mod! Unfortunately I've found a few incompatible mods.
* R.E.D Modpack (v 11)
- Seems to make the IGE interface screw up, rendering it useless.
* Echoes of Ages - CiVilization Plus (v 42)
- EoA + IGE corrupts savegames and crashes Civ if you try to load one. I can't really say which of the mods are at fault however. :/
I've tested IGE with a single other mod at a time to get these results.
EDIT: Guess it was EoA.

I have problems reproducing the bugs listed so far.
* The units panel work fine with R.E.D. The only problem I encountered was caused by spanish units since I don't have the DLC. Once I fixed it, everything works as intended.
* I have absolutely no problems with quarries or villages.
* The plot highlighting bug was caused by a version conflict.
So, to everyone reporting those bugs, please manually delete all versions of the addon (My Documents/My Games/Civ5/Mods) and reinstall only the latest one. If you still encounter the bug, please use Firetuner to detect any error message you could communicate me. A screenshot could also really help, along with your mods list (or tests without any other mod enabled on a fresh new game). Finally, if the problem disappeared once you cleaned things up, please report it too!
Finally, if anyone has a clue about what causes those version conflicts and how to prevent them, I would really appreciate because it doesn't make sense to me (how can v3 conflicts with v4 when only v4 is loaded ?!).
PS: Barbarian civilization works, thanks again Gedemon!

Hello Mindxxx
This kind of behavior means an error occured in the initialization process. For example, it may be because of an addon using content from a DLC you don't have: the addon still manages to load fine but IGE fails when scanning the additional units. This typically occurs with RED and I am in the process to make IGE tolerant against that.
However, to clearly spot the cause of the bug, the savegame won't help. What I need is the lua.log (my documents/my games/civ5/logs). Check whether yours is empty or not. If it's not, fine.
* If it is empty, you will need Firetuner. Open it, run civ5 and start/load a game, try to open IGE, then alt+tab to Firetuner. At the bottom of the console there will be an error, this is what I need (line number and what happened).
* A list of addons may also help if the error itself doesn't speak much.

Thank you Don! you have made this game playable for me again. It's been a long time!
I have the same problem and the log is:
[8023.069] Initializing Lua 5.1.4
DonQuiche, I really enjoy your work. Thank you.
Hurrah ! I found how to enable the logs. I always thought they were only disabled on my computer because I use Firetuner. Seems like they actually have to be explicity turned on.
So...
* Close civilization V.
* Open config.ini with the notepad (My Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5) Search for the line "LoggingEnabled = 0" and replace it with "LoggingEnabled = 0".
* Save and close
* Start civilization V.
* Start a new game with IGE enabled and try to open IGE.
* Close civilization V (may not be necessary, not sure, check for an error line at the bottom of the log)
* Post lua.log
Remember you can also use Firetuner instead if you want. Anyway, my apologies for the waste of time, I didn't know about the exact behavior of logs.

Yes it does, thank you.
Seems like you do have a mod that adds an improvement for an unknown resource. It may be because of a missing DLC (did any resource was added in a DLC ?), or because of an error from this mod's author.
Anyway, I patched v5 to make it tolerant against that. Here is also the file for v4 if you want to patch your version right now. Just replace the original IGE_Data.lua (in My Documents/My Games/Civ5/MODS/Ingame Editor (v4)) with this the one in the archive.
