For now this mod changes only the backgrounds of the cards in the battle ui, but in further releases, I aim to finish recoloring the backgrounds of the campaign recruitment cards!
Coming soon... mod compatible version for Shogun 2 Realism, Radious Total War Mods, and Additional Units Mod.
v1.01 beta

Re: Better Unit Cards mod (Battles only)
Very clever idea, I'm sure I'll get used to the UI cards, but I would still prefer something similar to previous games with images of the actual unit instead of a picture.
Excellent job :)

Great work, plus rep. :thumbsup2
For a future version I'd like to see some less bright colors (maybe optional, as some may like bright colors, others don't) and maybe also a difference in color between spear- and sword-infantry. :)

Re: Better Unit Cards mod (Battles only)
Yes, I plan to do such things in future versions, as well as different cards for light ships and heavy bunes.

Re: Better Unit Cards mod (Battles only)
Ohhhh Very nice!
Its like you took inspiration from the colored backgrounds of the Ukiyo-e Watercolors that insipred the Shogun 2 Total War's art.
Very nice.
Have you considered adding a sort of 'paper' texture to them? Something akin to this?
Also, can I suggest making Hero's backgrounds black?

No point downloading it just for the demo, but this is freaking great for the actual game!!! +Rep
All the unit cartoons look way too similar

Re: Better Unit Cards mod (Battles only)
Very nice! However do you think you could maybe tone them down a bit? I only need hints of blue/red/green and at the moment these cards are rahter garish.
Regardless +rep

Re: Better Unit Cards mod (Battles only)
This is a good idea and really helpfull for battles. I also would like to see a less brightly colored version if you have the time.

Re: Better Unit Cards mod (Battles only)

Re: Better Unit Cards mod (Battles only)
Maybe make different kind of sets of customized unit cards . Like different colours or maybe with ingame screenshoot from units , well i think you get the picture , basically have different packs so people can choose when the retail version is coming out . At a later stage maybe have the cards in battle map corresponding to the one in the campaign map.

Re: Better Unit Cards mod (Battles only)
Very nice, but the colors are too strong on my opinion. Decrease the opacity and it will be perfect

Re: Better Unit Cards mod (Battles only)
Great idea. Rep to you. May I suggest adding a color for spear units and leave the blue to the sword units?
..and thanks for the revision.

Re: Better Unit Cards modpacks (now with unique sword/spear backgrounds)
As I said in one of your previous post tone down the colours so your eye isn't distracted from the battle scene. I love what you have done but even a slight hint of colour will still stand out :o)

Brilliant mod, makes it much easier to organise my troops and keep track of them on the battlefield. +rep.

Re: Better Unit Cards modpacks (now with unique sword/spear backgrounds)
Wonderful idea, definitely like the way the newer version is looking. I'd just recommend toning down the red. Perhaps should have three versions, bright, med, and light (faint hint) of color.

Re: Better Unit Cards modpacks (now with unique sword/spear backgrounds)
I would LOVE it if the backgrounds were very slightly colored, sort of like if you were to color a cream-colored sail, like some sort of cloth or paper-feel.
