BETA EDITION – Better Ability Icons & DEI Cultural UI

This is a Beta 1.3.4 Edition for my Better Ability Icons & DEI Cultural UI submod. IIusually do not make this available to the public due to modding constrictions (I have to wait for the entire Beta to complete the changes before I can make the changes final, so I usually wait till the beta is integrated in the main mod). However, this time since I am making quite some significant changes to the mod I felt it neccessary to release the submod to the public in order to get AS MUCH FEEDBACK AND SUGGESTIONS POSSIBLE SO FEEL FREE TO COMMENT BELOW. THIS IS A BETA VERSION SO THERE MIGHT BE SEVERAL ISSUES, THIS IS WHY I REQUIRE YOUR SUPPORT TO INDENTIFY THEM SO THAT I CAN IRON OUT THE ISSUES BEFORE INTEGRATING IT WITH THE MAIN SUBMOD. NOTE THIS WORKS ONLY WITH THE DEI BETA 1.3.4 AND IF THE DEI BETA IS NOT LOADED AS SHOWN IN THE LOAD ORDER BELOW THIS SUBMOD WILL DEFINITELY NOT WORK AS INTENDED.

This mod is a combination of two mods on the steam workshop.

• Better Ability Icons by Levoy01, tweaked by me for DEI.

• DEI Cultural UI by Shady, updated for 1.32 DEI patch and all the DLC campaigns as well.

• Updated the UI to match the updates done by Shady, that includes unique Germanic, Celtic, Dacian, Iberian UI and some other changes.
• Added a Britannic Cultural UI to the mod, unique from the Celts.
• Added Amber Button look for Germanic factions, suggestion by CEMMEN, I am sure many of you heard of him.
• Added unique Battle Unit Banners for different unit types, like elephants, cavalry, chariots, pikes, etc. courtesy from Better Banners mod.
• Added a new custom made campaign map banners for armies, with a small star and big star icon to signify a 10 stack and 20 stack respectively. Edited from 41 stack banners mod, dmboss.
• Edited the Map Telestration (Markers) to be thicker and more visible.
• Updated Amber Button look for Germanic factions to be more realistic
• Updated the Panel Decorations for most factions notably the Seleucids, the Antigonids, the Greeks, the Germanic and the Indian.
• Added a custom Alexander UI for the Alexander Campaign featuring a Tyrian Purple look.
• Added Minimalist’s submod combat status icon for more unit card visibility.

I do not claim the contents of these mods as my own work, save for the tweaks I made to the Better Ability Icons mod to better suit DEI. Most of the work can be credited to Levoy01 and Shady for their respective works. However, I felt the need to update the mods to suit the latest DEI 1.32 patch and will keep updating the latter, DEI Cultural UI for each update of DEI for as long as I am active on this workshop.
