If you want to inject a dose of Elder Scrolls flavour into your games, then this is the mod pack for you. We’ll end this short and sweet mod list with a conversion pack. Techs that used to give boosts to trading post output no longer apply, and this mod enables you to start building them earlier as well. It’s worth noting that they won’t become new cities, but they will be more valuable as they evolve. Now, from the renaissance era, your trading posts will slowly evolve into hamlets and villages, increasing in output over time. One feature from Civ 4 involved your cottages growing into full-fledged towns, which the creator of TPGT enjoyed so much they’ve adapted the concept into Civ 5. The creator notes that while there are elements to the new content that can help combat a culture win, they haven’t yet found a way to stop the AI clinching a diplomatic victory before you get to all the shiny new stuff. It’s recommended that you turn off cultural and diplomatic victories, in case the AI manages to end the game early.

It adds 31 new techs, a new strategic resource, 31 new units, 52 new buildings and a whole host of other content to stretch the game out into the near future. If you fancy extending the Civilization 5 timeline a bit beyond the Information Age, then this Future Worlds mod is what you’re looking for. It’s not always going to drop civs perfectly in the right location, so make sure you read the description to ensure you’re doing everything correctly. The version we’ve linked is for the Brave New World expansion, but there are also different options depending on desired game pace. It’s derived from a previous mod that had a similar purpose called Yet Another Giant Earth Map, but this one is 180×94 and you’ll need at least 4GB of RAM in order to play it smoothly. If you want to play on a giant map based on Earth, then this mod has just what you need. There aren’t any gameplay changes, this is wholly a visual mod, but given Civ 5 is often praised for it’s more realistic art style, this helps enhance that motif a bit more. More ethnically diverse unit models have also been added for various civilisations. In some cases, units with multiple figures have had more added to the unit visual. This is a mod for the military enthusiasts – it rescales all of the units so that they look more realistic and to scale. It’s compatible with the vanilla game plus any combination of Civ 5 DLC, although it doesn’t work in multiplayer.

The Ingame Editor mod allows you to modify absolutely anything within a session: terrain, features, resources, the religion of a city, you can even use it to spawn new units.Īccording to the creator it can be used as a cheat engine or simply as a tool to help create scenarios. This is probably the most essential mod considering Civ 5 is long past active development.
