    Its a program that can edit string.bin files without needing to convert them to plain text first.
    Want gunpowder, mongols, and timurids to appear when YOU do?
    Playing on a different timescale and never get to see the new world or just wanting to change your timescale?

    Ok I found it on TWCENTER. But it reads an error with the tooltips file... sigh. ANyway I fixed it by hand. The screen is SO much more uncluttered now! YAY!

    Probably edit tooltips.txt.strings.bin

    Not quite. I edited the .txt version counterpart. I replaced all the annoying tooltip popups with a space. Left many of the tool tips I don't mind. Now the pop-up is just a tiny square I don't even get bothered by.
