Back to CiV after a few years off

[Sherlock]

Reinstalled CiV last night and got to say - it's so much better than CiVI. It sounds beautiful, it looks beautiful (ramp everything up to 'high') plays beautiful.

Don't see myself paying $100 for CiVII with DRM when I can just play CiV.

I've been playing it after seeing some streamers playing it recently. I still love Civ 6 better. And I miss some of the QOL improvements. Especially after trying to hunt down archeological sites in civ 5 which is much easier to do in 6. But I'm having a blast right now. Just trying to get some achievements I haven't got, of course I still have over 100 I don't have. It does have some stuff I wish they hadn't got rid of in Civ 6. Especially ideologies.

There's a Civ 5 mod that highlights archaeology sites in Civ 5. makes them glow green or red (if an archaeologist is on route). But I stopped using it because using mods in Civ 5 stops achievements. Don't know if there is an achievement enabler mod for Civ 5? I haven't been able to find one. I actually prefer Civ 5 over Civ 6.

You can turn the mod into a fake dlc which still allows you to get achievements. This is usually done to play the mod in multiplayer. https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/mpmpm-multiplayer-mod-dlc-hack-updated.533238/
