This modification changes what the user interface (UI) in game looks like. The basic idea behind this modification is that the important things in the user interface are made larger and some elements have been moved. It doesn't show all information that is possible to be shown in order to keep the interface from being cluttered with various figures.
Some of the features include:
-Population count and number of shipments displayed with large numbers
-Market shortcuts for buying or selling resources
-Deck choosing menu relocated to make deck choosing easier while chatting
-Partly transparent UI for more viewable area
-A clearly marked tribute button
-Unit names and owners with a larger font
-Much, much more!
This UI can be used in both minimized and maximized mode. In the minimized mode there are a little less unit statistics shown, whereas in maximized mode all statistics apart from explorer crackshot/sharpshoot ability stats are visible.
This version has the unit training queue above the minimap.

i was put off this by the lack of un+installer included.
