Since 2016, Civilization 6 has been continuously evolving and delighting fans of the series with new content. The creators of the game have even released major add-ons to refresh the gameplay and provide an opportunity for gamers to spend as much time as possible on their favorite "Tsiva".
Nevertheless, not only add-ons, but also mods give a new look at Civilization 6 . This is a selection of the best mods that will give you a fresh gaming experience in an already familiar project. All of them are compatible with the latest addon at the moment - Gathering Storm.
Installing mods on Civilization 6
Once Steam Workshop support was added to the game, mod installation became as easy as possible. You just need to subscribe to the modification on Steam, after which it will automatically download. Next, launch Civilization 6 and activate the desired mod in the launcher. After that, you can safely start playing!
If some mod is not in the Steam Workshop and you downloaded it from a third-party site, then to activate its files you will have to move it to the Mods folder, which is located at "C: \ Documents \ MyGames \ SidMeiersCivilizationVI". After that, launch the game and activate the modification in the launcher.
Detailed Worlds 2.12
And the first in line is Detailed Worlds , which helps to make the entire game map a little more realistic. You've probably noticed that when the game world is randomly generated, very often the landscape turns out to be somehow strange. Either huge deserts appear on the map, which abruptly turn into snow-capped mountains, then the river nearest to you quickly breaks off after a couple of cells, and there are absolutely no useful resources near it, although logically there should be. Detailed Worlds removes all of these issues and makes the map more vivid.
The mod works mainly with details and helps to procedurally generate realistic lands. In this case, resources will begin to appear on the map exactly in those places where they should be logically. If you are tired of building your civilization on the merciless lands of "random", then I advise you to try.
RED Modpack
Before you is a mod that appeared in Civilization 5 and was liked by many due to the detailed study of units. RED makes your troop models less cartoonish and more compact at the same time. In fact, this modification makes the appearance of the army more realistic. Actually, this is exactly what it should be, given the setting of the game.
After applying the mod, the army will become something like the units from the old Civilization 3, where there was no place for bright colors and from the first minutes after starting the game session it became clear that you will face the difficult development of your own empire and continuous wars. Anyone who does not like the standard appearance of the army should try it.
Environment Skin: Sid Meier's Civilization V
Many people criticize Civilization 6 because it has become more colorful and cartoonish compared to the previous parts of the game. Despite the fact that part 5 turned out to be ambiguous, most fans of the series like it precisely due to the visual style and design of various models on the map. Fortunately, with the Environment Skin: Sid Meier's Civilization V mod , you have the opportunity to completely change the color palette of the game and from the similarity of Clash of Clans it will finally turn into a harsh strategy, exclusively in cold colors.
In this modification, the color palette has been perfectly worked out and the appearance of some elements on the map has even been partially changed. For example, trees, rocks and mountains look completely different. But what can I say, even the appearance of the units will become more realistic, which will definitely appeal to fans of harsh, purely muzhik strategies. I recommend everyone try it, purely for familiarization. Well, if you are a wild fan of Civilization 5 , then this mod should be one of the first for you.
Mappa mundi
In the Gathering Storm expansion, the developers have added geo-labels for many areas on the map, which looks really cool. However, if you spend a lot of time in Civilization 6 , you will definitely notice that the symbols begin to repeat themselves. If this does not suit you, then you should install the Mappa Mundi mod.
This modification adds more than 15,000 new names to the game, not only for lands, but also rivers, deserts, mountains and other objects on the map. With it, the virtual world of the game will become more realistic and you will definitely be much more comfortable playing. In addition, the inscriptions are taken from the real world, which brings the game map one step closer to the real continents of our planet.
Yet Not Another Map Pack
Arguably the best map pack ever released for Civilization 6 . And all because the famous modder with the nickname Gedemon was engaged in it. He has already created many modifications for different parts of Civilization, which significantly improved the gameplay. For Civilization 6, he decided to make a modification that adds an exact copy of the lands from our home planet to the game, and also sets the correct starting location for each civilization.
If you are tired of the fact that, for example, Norway does not have access to the sea, and you start over and over again in some desert, then Yet Not Another Map Pack is definitely for you. In addition, there are also a couple of simply huge maps for fans of the long ice rink in Civilization 6... And I'm not exaggerating now, they are real HUGE! One such map can take about 5 minutes to load, and if you've played Civilization 6 , you know perfectly well what size this time indicates.
To Hell With The Devil: Religious units fight Rock Bands
As the name suggests, you can get a Religious Victory in Civilization 6 through the new Satanist movement. This mod adds to the game "Rock groups" that glorify the devil and thus can radically change the gameplay. Perhaps this is one of the most interesting mods for the later stages of the game. It is with him that you can look at the project in a new way.
In addition to the fact that with this mod a new religion appears in the game, you can also create your own "apostles". They will travel the world and carry the sacred word of Satan. At the same time, adherents of another religion will try to get rid of long-haired metal fans who spoil the pure minds of their people. All in all, real fun awaits you with this modification. Only rock and roll, drugs and sex, nothing sacred!
Radial Measuring Tool
There is one mechanic in Civilization 6 that is not really explained, and because of this, you are depriving your state of various advantages. The point is that special areas, like industrial ones, give a bonus to city centers, but only within six cells. The problem is that every time you build something, you need to calculate this distance yourself, otherwise you will deprive yourself of the bonus. Didn't you know? Yes, it cannot be, you have already played more than a hundred hours in the sixth "Tsiva". My condolences.
In general, with the Radial Measuring Tool modyou no longer have to endlessly repeat the math for the first grade and regularly count 6 cells. The modification adds a tool to the game that visually shows the range of effects from areas. Made very convenient. With this mod, your state will finally start receiving bonuses to the maximum.
Mods for new civilizations
And finally, several modifications that add full-fledged, playable civilizations to the game:
- Durkle's Anangu . Adds to the game a civilization of Australian aborigines called Anangu, which has never been seen in any game in the series. They have 2 unique units, exclusive upgrades, and a bonus to creating districts in arid places. Anaga also receive privileges if they build structures next to natural wonders. Download ;
- Civitas Vlad III . With this mod, Romania appears in the game under the leadership of the insane Vlad the Third. First of all, it's worth noting the addition of crossbowmen that move at the speed of cavalry, which is at least a crazy idea. You will also have a unique ability that deals damage to units near plundered territories and sends a wave of disloyalty. This, in turn, will lead to uprisings in cities if this skill is used correctly. Download ;
- “A Song of Ice and Fire:” Rise and Fall of Usurper . Well, admit it, you wanted to play Civilization 6 in the "Game of Thrones" setting? So, waiting for the release of such a project is no longer necessary, with this mod, as many as 9 new civilizations from the novels of George Martin will appear in the game. It will be possible to play for the King's Lands, North, Westerland, Storm's End, Valley, Dorn and other key states from the world of "A Song of Ice and Fire". Each leader has their own unique units and bonuses, and you can also create dragons! Download .
