    Same, I just came back to Civ 4 after many years and would love to find this mod again!

    Realism Invictus

    So excited about trying this I just got back into Civ IV after not playing for a few years and it's still my favorite Civ. Thanks for all the work!

    Pretty exciting stuff. Just put my son down for a nap, brewed some coffee, and away we go!

    'I really tried to like this game, i really did but' thread

    Is it? That's really exciting to hear. I haven't tried a new game since the patch, because I'd found the AI to easy at King/Emperor and the game not fun to play at higher settings. But that sounds promising!

    'I really tried to like this game, i really did but' thread

    Come back in a few years after 2 expansions and the game will be significantly different. It's a very fun game on it's own right now, but a dissapointment when I compare it to CiV (complete) or Civ IV. On the bright side, I remember feeling this way about V when it came out and went back to 4...

    Different Human Species as a Mod

    Hey I've never created a mod before, but after listening to a cool interview with Yuval Noah Harari about his book Homo Deus about the possible evolution of Homo Sapiens into another species (way over simplification), I started thinking that it would be fun to see a mod with differing homo...

    Its Boring

    You just have to know that there will be more barbarians in the early game. Once you understand that, it's easy to take care of them. The game requires a mind shift from CiV just like CiV required a mind shift from Civ IV. Are their issues with the game? Sure, but I think early barbs is a...

    CQUI - A UI Overhaul (Now out on Steam Workshop!)

    Just wanted to drop a note saying thank you and that I love this mod. I didn't realize how many little things in the UI I found aggravating that your mod fixes. Probably my favorite thing is the return of the city screen and repeat trade route! It's a shame good mods like this can't have a...

    Lens for Zoos and Factories?

    Okay, I'll check out the mod for my next game. When I'm counting, am I counting city center to city center? Or am I counting industrial zone/entertainment zone to city center?

    Lens for Zoos and Factories?

    Is there a quick and easy way to see what cities are within range for my zoos and factories? Something like a lens or a mod like EUI showed city limits? I hate having to count tiles each time. And is it 6 tiles from city center to city center or is it from the location of the entertainment...

    A patch will NOT fix this game. Ever.

    Ah adulthood! When I got into Civ, there was nothing to put off other than household chores. Now, it's see if I can squeeze in an hour after everyone goes to bed or maybe sleep is just more important tonight. I tell you sleep has won so much that I don't know if I can classify myself as a...

    Things Civ 6 has actually Improved

    It's such a hard habit to get back into now. Years of building just 4 cities for tradition and then holding until I wanted to conquer places...or more often just going for a space race victory. It's weird to think that I should expand more than that now...but I used to spam settlers like crazy...

    A patch will NOT fix this game. Ever.

    Did you try it with any of the major mods like the Community Patch/Vox? Or Communitas? I started with Communitas when Thalisicus was still updating that mod, and it reinvigorated my interest in CiV.

    A patch will NOT fix this game. Ever.

    That's not true at all. For the people posting on these forums, they might prefer playing with AI mods. Most people playing civ aren't "fanatics" and don't have an issue with the gameplay. This is anecdotal, but my wife plays Civ and enjoys it. She plays on Chieftan and has a lot of fun with the...

    [BNW] Best AI mod?

    I've been enjoying playing CiV again recently and I'm wondering what people think the best AI mod is? I've tried Community Patch without the gameplay changes and I've tried Artificial Unintelligence. I tend to play on Emperor and found that the AI played better with Artificial Unintelligence...
