Can confirm Extended Policy Cards is incompatible with this mod, as it is already integrated :gwent_P:

备用策略屏幕
该模式将“我的政府”菜单中的政策选择屏幕彻底改造为更传统的“类似RPG”的选择菜单。不喜欢拖着卡片到处转,找不到您想要的保单卡?尝试一下选择文明策略的备选方案。
通过直接在策略条目上分配策略,您还可以看到对产出的即时影响。(需要Infixo的“更好的报告屏幕”模式。)

Assuming you have all expansions go to and open the following file in a text editor:
~Expansion2\UI\GovernmentScreen.lua

Search for an look for the first instance of SIZE_POLICY_CONTENT. (line 369).
By default this is set to 22. Change this to 30 and save the file.

how do I make text size slider default to largest?

Hi FinalFreak16,
your mod has been translated by ASM590319 into German and the translation is now part of the German translations for Civilization VI mods mod pack.
We would be more than happy if you could refer to the language translation in your mod description.

Ok it appeared to be conflicting with Extended Policy Cards, and the feature of that mod is already included in this one, but this one is way better anyway :)
Stagnetti 16 Mar, 2023 @ 6:18am 
After the update this is no longer working for me, I see the default policy screen. Anyone else have this issue?
Vidyflan 10 Feb, 2023 @ 2:56am 
could let the policy in the list line wrap? the words of policy of gold age will be omitted, and the words of policy of dark age will overlap!
Potatoes and Tomatoes 8 Feb, 2023 @ 12:49pm 
Hello, good mod, but for some reason, some cards dont work?
for example the dark age science card, is not giving me science.
BlackLight 24 Jan, 2023 @ 9:01am 
Does this work with extended policy cards?
fka-gargamel 7 Oct, 2022 @ 12:56am 
This mod is handsdown the single most useful and most impactful mod to optimize your strategy.
Maybe quick deals is on par
Siar-El 11 Mar, 2022 @ 11:43am 
Hey there ! Great work on that mod :D

For information, it does not work when Extended Policy Cards mod is active too.

Solved - reloading a save-game of the new game worked. Now I know.
MadDragon 29 Jul, 2021 @ 9:43am 
OK, I've just started a new game and ... it's not working at all? As in I'm still seeing the cards, not getting the awesome policy screen I've grown to like? Does it only kick in after a certain amount of time?
MadDragon 27 Jul, 2021 @ 7:21pm 
odd. Just tried the scaling again and now it's sticking? Guess I was doing it wrong.
MadDragon 27 Jul, 2021 @ 7:12pm 
Absolutely marvellous mod, thanks for doing that. Much cleaner and usable. Thanks!

That said, just two issues:
- the scaling doesn't "stick" and I have to reset it every time I use it. Might be a limitation in the interface, I get that. But if it isn't, hope it can be fixed.
- how about highlighting the entire bar when something is selected, since the values on the far right sometimes get a bit difficult to relate to the highlighted tag on the left.

Both issues have to do with my poor eyesight. :)

The loss of drag seems to have one drawback: say, I want to move a econ policy from the wild card slot to a free econ slot (in order to free up a wild slot for diplo policy). Then I can no longer drag it to swap the place, but I have to remove that policy, hunt it down in the list of all policies, and then put it back. A one-click "reorganize" button would work as well. (What it does is to fill the non-wild slots as much as possible)

Hi, the following files have been updated, you might want to take a look:
..\Base\Assets\UI\Screens\GovernmentScreen.lua
..\Base\Assets\UI\Screens\GovernmentScreen.xml

Thanks for your mods final freak :)
Zyxpsilon 14 Mar, 2021 @ 10:22pm 
I can see i'm not the only one that ever wanted (from a few discussion pages in the past!) to manually control (directly by default) how to re-scale such text strings. ;)
doiron5 14 Mar, 2021 @ 8:47pm 
That did the trick, thanks!
FinalFreak16  [author] 14 Mar, 2021 @ 1:09pm 
@doiron5 You could try editing the mod file GovernmentScreen.lua. On line 369 is:
local SIZE_POLICY_CONTENT :number = 22;

Smallest = 22, Small = 24, Medium = 26, Large = 28, Largest = 30.

I have not tested this so sorry if that doesnt work.
doiron5 14 Mar, 2021 @ 10:47am 
Great mod, but how do you permanently adjust the text size? It resets on every load...and smallest is really small.
天阳的搅拌机 20 Feb, 2021 @ 10:26pm 
Do you have any intention to make a Chinese version?:steamthumbsup:
Snaike 15 Feb, 2021 @ 3:58pm 
As of 2/14/21 this mod is not does not work for me. There is no change to the Policy Screen. I have all DLC/updates and The Better Report by Infixo.
Zyxpsilon 14 Feb, 2021 @ 11:51am 
Yup.. that is *precisely* what i needed. Thanks a bunch!
FinalFreak16  [author] 14 Feb, 2021 @ 11:09am 
@Zyxpsilon Turn off the green text for policy descriptions? Easiest method would be to edit line 1612 and 1613 of GovernmentScreen.lua.

Switch:
cardInstance.Description:SetHide(true); to false and
cardInstance.DescriptionGlow:SetHide(false); to true.

It will show the normal colour instead of the glowing one.
Zyxpsilon 14 Feb, 2021 @ 9:35am 
@FinalFreak16,

A swift question about editing the XML format file to alter the wide description strings of our selected Policies. They are currently enhanced by a sharp green colour. To me, their header "buttons" are plenty enough as indicators.
Please i just can't find the proper line and coded instruction that control this stuff.

@Judy Hopps Hey, sorry I have been away from the Civ modding scene for a while. Would you still like me to add your translation? The link seems to expired. If so let me know here or in the pinned feedback thread. Thanks!
Judy Hopps 7 Oct, 2020 @ 10:48pm 
Thanks :)
I translated this mod into KOREAN.
I'd appreciate if you could add follow:

Ikey 28 Jul, 2020 @ 7:02pm 
Thank you!! <3 I'm trying to diagnose which mod it is.
FinalFreak16  [author] 28 Jul, 2020 @ 5:15pm 
@Ike As in when selecting a Civic research? This mod doesn't touch civic tree or its UI. Only the MyGovernmentScreen UI is modified.
Ikey 28 Jul, 2020 @ 11:15am 
My future civic is not repeatable. Does this mod have anything to do with that?
EAgamez 10 Jul, 2020 @ 10:23am 
I really like this mod but the Assign All Policies button is permanently disabled for me.

@FinalFreak15 ...thanks for the latest fix ...I've been going crazy since 15th trying everything to get this must have mod working again ...especially with the problem only appearing so late in the game ...a real PITA ...but it works now and I did finally get around to cleaning up my Mod directory :)
Ser Leoritch 19 Jun, 2020 @ 8:01am 
i love this Mod, thanks for making it brother.
blazeknave 18 Jun, 2020 @ 9:16pm 
@FinalFreak16 huge fan of your work, thank you! This mod just keeps getting more and more useful!
FinalFreak16  [author] 17 Jun, 2020 @ 12:20pm 
@J4A, thought that might be coming. I'd be happy to. And I have. Now included. Many Thanks.
J4A 17 Jun, 2020 @ 4:25am 
@FinalFreak16
Thank you for the quick fix.
It would be great if you could incorporate my Japanese translation.

@dejpolsys Sorry I can't replicate your issue. You might be having a mod conflict with another mod perhaps? Which other mods do you have running?

@J4A. Ok, pretty sure I've got them all now. Fixed. Sorry!

@FinalFreak16
Remaining hardcoded texts

GovernmentScreen.lua
Line 532 - 563: "Smallest", etc.
Line 1877: "Unlock Policies"
FinalFreak16  [author] 16 Jun, 2020 @ 12:12am 
@dejpolsys Thanks for letting me know, I'll do some testing with base game rules to try and find the issue.
Zyxpsilon 15 Jun, 2020 @ 10:06pm 
Oh.. yes.. 2K vs 4K resolutions is a tricky proposition to adapt. Do your best, but don't blow off brain cells at it if that fancy UI fix proves too "difficult" to stabilize for various hybrid GFX settings.

I could always edit the personal gimmick back in as need be, anyway. ;)

15 Jun update ...vanilla ...new govt available notice turn 14 epic ...neither notice nor govt button now opens screen ...worked fine on city founding ...unsub/resub/load doesn't fix
FinalFreak16  [author] 15 Jun, 2020 @ 2:16pm 
Another update!

@infixo I've added a 'View Only' mode to the policy screen allowing access to review policies without paying the fee. Gives full navigational functionality but you cant change anything without paying up.

Also added the following:
Currently active filter button is now highlighted.
Removed remaining hardcoded english text in favour of localisation tags.
Fixed the 'Empty Slot' text being missing on empty slots in the My Government tab.
FinalFreak16  [author] 15 Jun, 2020 @ 10:22am 
@Zyxpsilon I just tested your change and while I assume this looks fine on a 1920x1080 resolution it doesnt quite look right on 2K (which I'm running atm). I think it will need some more logic depending on resolution/screenspace.

To be honest I've been considering altering that screen to display each tier in a vertical list instead as I despise horizontal scrolling haha. I'll play around with it and see what works best.
Zyxpsilon 15 Jun, 2020 @ 10:14am 
Zyxpsilon 15 Jun, 2020 @ 10:02am 
Oh -- just found it.. back in April 2019;
====
To fix the GS four tiers "enforced" scroller... all it took was two very small edits to the "Expansion2 \ UI \ GovernmentScreen.lua" file;

local SIZE_GOV_ITEM_WIDTH :number = 384; -- 400;
local SIZE_GOV_DIVIDER_WIDTH :number = 0; -- 75;

Soooooo.. everything is now always shown on my 1920x1080 monitor.
Yeah!

Zyxpsilon 15 Jun, 2020 @ 9:57am 
Many enhancements implemented lately. Love them all so far... but, before i'm cut short of other wishes & still could suggest some stuff too! :)

A slight GovernmentScreen.XML alteration of width to squeeze all panels (which can include the 4th tier) onto the regular (1920) default screen.

PS; Maybe i've already shared these small edits in the past and couldn't remember if you had "rejected" the idea. If so, please ignore.
