I tryied some small old mods for interface, as "interface mod", "camera mod", "bigfont" mod; and not enough all of these, buggy, and incompatible with localizations and some game versions.
Now i expanded the interface elements, added additional informations, wrote new hints, built-in new fonts, etc. I dont tolerate cheat-like mods, and i did not changes the game rules, only improve the interface. A few weeks ago, i created a beta version, now this is the release.
Install: unzip anywhere, copy the "kbgui_xy" folder content (data, sessions) to game folder, where is forders with same name.
Im not compressed the files, because:
1: Location of "kfs" files works differently, depends version of games. This uncompressed folders work correctly with all known versions (original, gog, etc).
2: Maybe if i will make changes and/or add more features as patch, then no need upload/download the whole again, only the new files.

For Legend:
kbgui_legend.zip
For Crossworlds/Armored Princess:
kbgui_crossworlds.zip
For Warriors of the North:
kbgui_warriors.zip
Sounds for all 3 part:
