Better Leader Icon (UI)
Enhance Your Civilization VI Diplomacy with Better Leader Icon
Tired of sifting through menus to get a clear picture of your diplomatic standing in Sid Meier’s Civilization VI? The Better Leader Icon (UI) mod streamlines crucial information, presenting it directly and intuitively within the game’s interface. This essential modification injects valuable data into your gameplay experience, allowing for more informed decisions and a smoother path to victory.
Expanded Information at a Glance
The core of Better Leader Icon lies in its ability to enrich the leader icons you see throughout the game. This mod adds extended tooltips and relationship details, providing immediate insights without interrupting your flow. These enhancements are visible in several key areas:
* The Diplomacy Ribbon
* The Diplomacy Action View
* The World Congress Popup (requires Gathering Storm)
Informed Decisions with Yields and Trade Data
Beyond basic identification, the mod bolsters the Diplomacy Ribbon with additional crucial data. An extension at the bottom of the ribbon can display your current score and military strength. You have granular control over its visibility, with options to:
* Always Hide the ribbon
* Show on Mouse-over
* Always Show the vanilla game ribbon
The main mouse-over tooltip has also been significantly expanded. It now offers key information about any civilization, including their yields and available resources for trade. This allows you to quickly assess potential partners or rivals.
Deep Dive into Relationships
Understanding your relationships with other leaders is paramount in Civilization VI. Better Leader Icon provides a dedicated relationship tooltip that details:
* Current relationship status and recent changes.
* Grievances (with Gathering Storm) and Alliance information (with Rise & Fall).
* Access levels, combat bonuses, and leader Agendas.
* The specific reasons behind your current diplomatic standing, offering a list of influential modifiers. This detailed breakdown can even be toggled off for those who prefer a less verbose display.
Strategic Trade Insights
Never miss a trade opportunity again. The mod clearly displays resources available for trade, applying consistent logic for both human players and AI. A resource is considered tradeable if you possess more than one copy and the potential trading partner lacks it. Strategic resources are highlighted in red, while luxuries appear in green. Two small dots above the leader icon visually signal trade potential: the left dot indicates they have something to sell, and the right dot signifies you have something they might want. This feature is particularly refined with Gathering Storm, where strategic resource counts consider player caps, and the trade indicator dots activate solely for luxuries.
This mod is designed to be highly compatible, supporting the base game, Rise & Fall, Gathering Storm, and popular UI overhauls like CQUI and CQUI-Lite. It also supports all languages, ensuring a global reach for its enhancements.
