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.

Works for mp?

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.
Kornstalx 8 Oct, 2022 @ 1:42am 
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.

oh man i just saw your screenshot of it. hope you still plan on releasing that D:
Ripz 7 Feb, 2022 @ 10:32pm 
i was also searching for smaller unit flags. also city banners though thatd prob conflict with other banner mods. great mod btw its hella handy.

@LunaEclipse73, hi, you can see all charges above unit flags, I think it's obvious enough. If place builder charges on the promotion flag, they will be hidden by apostles, spies and support units on the same hexagon.

@16180339, @zaaach, sorry for the delay. Update was almost ready a few months ago but I still can't find some time to correctly finish and test it.
LunaEclipse73 3 Oct, 2021 @ 6:55pm 
Hi, because builders don't have promotions, could you perhaps change the mod to show the charges on the promotion flag to make it more obvious?
zaaach 26 Jul, 2021 @ 4:57pm 
@16180339 @bolbas I came here searching for smaller flags, specially in the late game, so I am looking forward to the update!
16180339 22 Jun, 2021 @ 8:52pm 
Great. Surprised it wasnt modded since civ 5..
bolbas  [author] 15 Jun, 2021 @ 2:22am 
Ok, I shall add this option on the next update.
16180339 14 Jun, 2021 @ 1:30pm 
Exactly, looks great. I enjoy as minimal UI as possible.
bolbas  [author] 14 Jun, 2021 @ 3:46am 
@16180339, do you mean something like this [i.imgur.com]?
16180339 28 May, 2021 @ 6:14pm 
Possible to add an option to make the flags small? I have always disliked civ icons.

Thanks!
bolbas  [author] 22 Apr, 2021 @ 9:59pm 
Hi, @Adriaman, thanks) Updated for 1.0.12.9 game version.
Adriaman 22 Apr, 2021 @ 12:49pm 
Hi, this file has just been updated:
..\DLC\BarbarianClansMode\UI\Replacements\UnitFlagManager_BarbarianClansMode.lua
bolbas  [author] 25 Mar, 2021 @ 2:23pm 
Updated for 1.0.11.16 game version.
Adriaman 25 Mar, 2021 @ 9:21am 
The last patch updated :
- ..\Sid Meier's Civilization VI\DLC\PolandScenario\UI\UnitFlagManager.lua
- ..\Sid Meier's Civilization VI\DLC\BarbarianClansMode\UI\Replacements\UnitFlagManager_BarbarianClansMode.lua

This mod probably needs to be updated.
ShinchonYang 27 Feb, 2021 @ 7:46pm 
Look at these life quality changes! Many thanks!
bolbas  [author] 26 Feb, 2021 @ 6:03am 
@Adriaman, thanks for the report. I've updated the mod and now it must be compatible with the new game mode.
Adriaman 26 Feb, 2021 @ 3:47am 
This mod is not compatible with the Barbarians game mode, it lacks the "bribed / incited" barbarian tribes promotion icons.
Adriaman 25 Feb, 2021 @ 1:23pm 
Nice! Flash update!
antek 20 Aug, 2020 @ 5:27am 
just wanted to throw another idea out there,
bolbas  [author] 20 Aug, 2020 @ 2:56am 
@AAAAAntek, what civ borders do you mean? This mod affects unit flags only.
antek 19 Aug, 2020 @ 3:13pm 
Could you make the inner side of Civ borders on the map be more transparent and take up more space? It looked this way in CIV V and I thought it was way better. And the SDK assets suggest that the default shape of the borders depends on textures, so it seems possible

must have!! everyone has to subscribe
bolbas  [author] 27 Jul, 2020 @ 3:25pm 
@biship, thanks for your report. I made a mistake in modinfo on the last update and now it's fixed.
biship 27 Jul, 2020 @ 3:41am 
Conflicts with CQUI:
2115302648\Assets\UI\unitflagmanager_CQUI.lua:118: attempt to index a nil value
Units have no icons in game :(
SonOfHelaman 20 Apr, 2020 @ 8:55pm 
@bolbas It is working with CQUI now for me, it looks great, thanks!
bolbas  [author] 19 Apr, 2020 @ 1:19am 
@blazeknave, I checked and it seems that Better Unit Flags compatible with Nomina - Dynamic Civ and Leader Names. What issues have you got?
blazeknave 18 Apr, 2020 @ 2:17pm 
@bolbas - do you see anything in Nomina or Dynamic Civ Names that would cause an issue? There's code in DCN's UnitFlagManager.lua to allow the Nomina title to show up as the owner on unit hover.
bolbas  [author] 16 Apr, 2020 @ 11:44am 
@SonOfHelaman, I made the mod compatible with CQUI but don't forget that you can't use CQUI unit flag features whith Better Unit Flags enabled.
SonOfHelaman 15 Apr, 2020 @ 8:35pm 
Tried this out today and seems useful, but all the flags disappear if I enable it at the same time as CQUI mod. Is there a way to fix it?
bolbas  [author] 14 Apr, 2020 @ 3:29am 
You can't do it in this mod but this fuction is available in Sukritact's Simple UI Adjustments for example. Why you need it?
paupsers 13 Apr, 2020 @ 8:35pm 
Is there a way to hide all unit flags?
