Not-so Great Engineer
I'm making this thread as a reference for people so they will know what words and abbreviations to use while describing their mod, and to keep it as uniform as ever.
At first, we should be using this thread to discuss and agree on what common keywords, phrases and abbreviations should be used. Then hopefully by the time of release we can agree and this thread can become a more permanent reference for new modders.
As most people will know, the original Civ5 modding abbreviations were
UA, UB, UI, UU, and UNW.
Unique Ability, Unique Building, Unique Improvement, Unique Unit and Unique National Wonder.
With a new game comes new features, and everyone is inventing their own ways of remembering them. For example, i have see the new Leader Abilities being called
LUA (which is very confusing) and LA (Which makes a bit more sense). I have also seen the civilization's ability referred to as National Ability, which i quite like.
Here are two of my ideas, please discuss below.
I hope we can come to some conclusion and make modding just that bit more organised. If you have any ideas on what other keywords and abbreviations we should start using to help keep Civ6 modding organised, do say.

- UA - Unique Ability. The CIVILIZATION ability.
- UU - Unique Unit. The CIVILIZATION unit.
- UD - Unique District. The CIVILIZATION district.
- UI - Unique Improvement. The CIVILIZATION improvement.
- UB - Unique Building. The CIVILIZATION building.
- LA - Leader Ability. The LEADER'S ability.
- Agenda - Can't think of a suitable abbreviation. The LEADER'S unique diplomacy traits.
- LU - Leader Unique. Encompasses all the abilities, units and maybe buildings unique to the leader.
- LA - Leader Agenda. The unique diplomacy traits of the leader.
- UA - Unique Ability.
- UI - Unique Infastructure. Encompasses all the unique buildings, improvements and districts into one. This is what Firaxis has called it.
- UU - Unique Unit.
