Dynamic Clock Position
For those, like myself, who like to add in these small UI tweaks manually, for reasons such as maintaining the ability to earn achievements, here are a couple diff's of changes I made to add the current time onto the top panel stack, next to the resources list.

Here's a look at the final product: https://i.imgur.com/PW0fLC3.png

The two files to edit (after creating backups of course) are TopPanel.lua and TopPanel.xml which are under \assets\UI\InGame\.

Thank you - works perfectly. It's always important to keep track of time when playing any Civ-game...
Just add the lines with the "+" in front.

Thank you Sarion for the reply, I did that but not sure if I also need to remove the (-) sign one as well.
