Any recommendations for balanced new civs and maps with TSL

[Abjsalon]

Hi everyone

Thanks a lot for the awesome Vox Populi mod. It has restarted my interest in this game after having shoeboxed it for 1 or 2 years. The mod is really some of the most well-done fan work I have ever tried. The changes you've made are super awesome, and I can no longer win any game by just exploiting the idiot AI.

Now however I would like:

1) More new civilizations - Can anyone recommend a pack of the new civilizations that are BOTH compatible with and balanced in Vox Populi? I especially like ancient civilizations.

2) Some TSL maps - I cant get the YNEAMP to work (tried the 43 civ version 2 downloaded through steam)

Thanks in advance

Hello!

Most custom civilizations are neither compatible nor balanced with VP. Our lovely fellow Enginseer has compiled a few here: https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/vox-populi-compatible-civilizations-showcase.574461/

Might want to check them out.

And re 2), I think the 43 civ maps need to change DLL, so they won't be compatible with another DLL mod such as VP. You can play the regular YNAEMP map though. I have never played it myself, but there is a thread somewhere here about setting it up with VP. The thread should be linked from the stickied list of compatible mods above.

Take a grain of salt when playing JFD's mods. Unless they are activated before the SQL Trigger(There's a compatibility trigger that triggers for unique buildings that replaces their respective VP buildings), they may or may not have one of those unhappiness modifiers or appropriate happiness yields.

Thank you for all the replies

When I try to load to the mods through steam it asks that I implement 2 other mods.

1) The orignial civ mod
2) A comunity patch mod

Should I download and activate both of these?
