Do all steam workshop mods work in multiplayer? Of course, if this were so, then I'd expect everyone playing the game together would have first downloaded and installed said mods first.

I ask because I do not know much at all about Steam Workshop. I think it uses a variety of programs and is not quite like Starcraft 2's editor...but I would only ever use it in multiplayer anyway - I never play any of the other games that use it, and I only play Civ in multiplayer. I'm coming back for Gods and Kings.

As such, I refer you guys to the original question. Civ 4 Beyond the Sword had 'mods' built in that worked sometimes offline, sometimes online. Is *that* the case with steam workshop mods? And if so, would you guys say 80% of the mods are multiplayer enabled? Or more like 15%?

EDIT: Someone mentioned to me that the only way to get a "mod" working in MP is have all players modify their base game files. What can you guys tell me about this? Can you do it for *any* mod?

As far as I know, mods are not playable in multiplayer. As for having the mods work by altering the base game, I highly recommend against this; one wrong character and your entire game can be unplayable. Making a backup of the base files would "help" but I still don't recommend messing with the base.

EDIT
Gedemon has a mod that might help you out here
