Hello, I've made three balance mods for Civilization V.
The First one balances out the civilizations so they're more competitive and adds a third Unique Component to increase the diverse experience each Civ creates. There are numerous changes to UAs, UUs and UBs as well. There's a combat balancer that makes Mounted and Armored Units more valuable and Ranged and Siege Units have some penalties.
The Full Change List is as below:
Civilization Balance
For All civs, combat has been changed: Ranged Units (except Bazookas and a few UUs) now have a penalty against cities, Mounted have a bonus against ranged, Siege have a penalty against Mounted (except H’wacha), and Gatling Guns, Machine Guns and Artillery have penalties against Armored Units.
