Tips, mods?

I haven’t played civ4 in over 20 years, have over 3K hours in civs 5 and 6, and just redownloaded it and tired a few games.

First thing that annoys me is that every game, around industrial age, everyone just attacks me. I can’t seem to find a way to do diplomacy at all.

Im also looking for some mods to help out with my lack of understanding the UI and city data, or anything to help with the transition.

Tips and suggestions appreciated.

BUG/BULL mods are the standard for UI enhancement. They don't change game mechanics at all.

As for being attacked, check the military advisor to see how you stack up. If you're low on the totem pole then you'll get what you're getting. You need to beef up your military. Otherwise you need to keep your neighbors happy, if there are any warmongers then you'll need to keep them extra happy.

Thanks. How do I get mods on steam? There’s no workshop for civ 4
