good mod! alas not compatible with "gift it to me CQUI compatibility version", with both mods all unit flags simply dont exist.

I think this mod would greatly benefit from a civilopedia page to check for color references.

There's just no way to memorize what all the colors mean, which makes them useless visual clutter.

There is another flag mod out there that I like, Zunit something, both are really nice and have their own upsides, I really wish I did not have to choose !

Maybe consider expanding the "Colored icons for Abilities" scheme to include remainder "hidden" unit abilities, such as the one from Mount Everest, Water of Life, etc. It is so annoying having to track every single ability from every single unit manually, versus the helping hand of a coloured icon. Even if it all remainder abilities had a single colour to represent them, say black, that would still be helpful. TYVM.

You're getting me all excited now. :steamhappy:

@ubereffect I didn't know that this feature added to CQUI. I'll check how can I fix this.

@bolbas - Just noticed Better Unit Flags overrides a feature that CQUI CQUI introduced with the Barbarian Clans Mode. "Barbarians in the Barbarian Clans mode now have a small indicator of their clan attached to each unit flag".

Any chance this feature could be left intact?

Thanks, @Kornstalx! Yes, I also liked this idea to highlight borders of religious and enemy units.

I absolutely cannot play without this. Being able to see religious units easily in a sea of icons on the screen is a god-send.
