Which UI/MAP/UNITS mods are you guys using ?
Looking for some new ideas. I'm currently using the 'board game style mod'.

And you ?

Thx

I'm using the following:

Cabido's movement arrows - For semi-transparent and less obtrusive movement 'snake'. They should make this the default!
Cabido's Cursors - look much better than the default cursors
Blue Water v1 - makes rivers stand out more
Telu's GUI elements - Borders and selected formation circles.
Astro Sound - small sound mod, nicer sounds, but usually I just listen to music while playing anyway [:)]
RailAndBridges - personal mod combining Telu's rail, slightly modified to make more visible, with Silvain's destroyed bridge overlay.

So basically small map and UI mods. Nothing big, I've found I kind of like the default map. But lots of modding talent around so better to pick and choose what I like [;)]

I use JSGME to manage mods, makes modding much simpler once you've set it up, which is a bit of work.

It works for almost all games--all you have to do is set it up right. I use it for several games right now.
