Krugor is working on something: check the Modpacks forum.

I'm going to make one, but I am having technical difficulties with WorldBuilder. It says:
"The program can't start because lua51_Win32.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."
What is "lua51_Win32.dll" ?
Can anyone help with this?

lua51_Win32.dll is needed to run the Lua scripts which Civ5 uses. It should be in the main Civ5 Install directory, so I would suggest that you go into the Steam library, right-click Civ5 and choose Properties, then switch to the Local Files tab and click on "Verify Integrity of Game Cache." That should redownload that file if it is missing or corrupt. You might want to do the same thing on the SDK download to make sure that's up to date too.

Tthank you so much!
I'm trying it right now
It's taking a while, so to pass the time i'll provide some details about the mod i'm going to make.
Unlike other WWII scenarios, this takes place BEFORE the war starts: in 1933. This is shortly after Hitler takes power in Germany. Mussolini is already in power in Italy,but has not attacked Ethiopia yet; and Manchuria is a Japanese puppet state. Spain has not yet revolted, but is on the verge of doing so. Germany has not yet taken control of Austria, Memel, the Rhineland, or Czechoslovakia.

The Playable Civilizations are:
Germany (Adolph Hitler)
Italy (Benitio Mussolini)
Japan (Hideki Tojo)
Russia (Joseph Stalin)
China (Chiang Kai-Shek)
France (Charles de Gaulle)
Britain (Winston Churchill)
America (Theodore Roosevelt)

Other Civilizations:
Spain
Turkey
Thailand
India
There are probably more that I am forgetting.

It didn't work. No error message pops up, but when i open WorldBuilder, the screen with the logo/name "worldbuilder" (you know what i'm talking about, right?) opens, but then nothing else happens. I've waited 10 minutes and tried 15 times.

I'd like too. I'm working on a map of Europe right now. With the help of Mbendi website, google, wikipedia and an old atlas I have. I'm adding quantities of strategic resources to the Europe landscape in a way that makes some regions strategically vital.

A lot of people seem to have this problem, but I don't know if there is a fix. Try searching the Tech Support forum for WorldBuilder.

There are probably more that I am forgetting but - oh look, its done!

As a history buff I just wanted to make a few corrections to the name spellings. It's 'Adolf' Hitler, 'Benito' Mussolini, and 'Franklin Delano' Roosevelt not Theodore (who was another US President).

what i dont understand is why u put turkey which didnt involve in the war and u didnt put greece which defeated italy and holded germans for a moth making the first victory for the allies

Check out Gedemon's Regiment and Ethnic Diversity World War II mod. That should be about what you're looking for, although from what I can tell the map's pretty done.
