Here's a little something from Eugen Systems themselves to help with your overall screen real estate. This mod moves the minimap from the top right corner down to the bottom left corner. It's something of a preference, but it will allow you to free up space in one spot of the screen where there's a lot of clutter to fill a spot that doesn't have a lot going on and won't be in the way of your tactics and strategizing.
