Civ4 Reimagined is an extensive overhaul for Civilization IV: Beyond the Sword. Despite touching almost every aspect of the game, Civ4 Reimagined strives to feel like a as-it-should-be version of Civilization IV, not a kitchen sink mod. As such, don't expect tons of new units, technologies and whatnot. There is new content, but everything new has been carefully added to fix problems and improve gameplay, and all new content is AI supported. Civ4 Reimagined started as a K-Modmod (which means you get all the benefits from K-Mod such as a much stronger AI, speed improvements, less OOS errors in multiplayer etc.) and includes the graphic modifications Varietas Delectat and Cultural Citystyles.
A detailed list of features can be found in the forum thread: >>Forum Thread<<. We are always happy to hear your suggestions and bug reports there, too!
Installation:
Extract everything into your Beyond the Sword\Mods folder and you are ready to play.
