You can help improve the Civilization game you love! The Civ V: Communitas Expansion Pack (Cep) is a community-made expansion adding units, features, modding capabilities, and interface enhancements while remaining close to the base game. Your contributions to the project are fully credited on the Credits Page.
Wiki
People want to know the details of the project before trying it, so this is very important! An accurate wiki also helps in discussions. If you see missing or inaccurate information on the wiki, it's easy to fix. This is something almost anyone can help with. One thing you can do is check if the project details match recent patch notes.

Translations
Translating the expansion pack lets everyone enjoy a better Civilization in any language! If you are multilingual and would like to help, this is a big priority. I organize the project for easy translation. Click Here for details.
Artwork
Good artwork makes the expansion pack more visually appealing. Icons are small pieces of art to identify an object. Skins are the textures for units. These are very important, because I don't have much skill at creating nice artwork!
- Icon for the Mentors Hall building.
- Icon for the Carvel Hull technology.
-
FontIcons for each specialist type. -
FontIcons to distinguish between roads and railroads for connected cities.

These are changes to the game code, if you'd like to try some programming. There are two ways to do this:
- Beginner: edit files in the mod folder and email the altered files to me.
- Advanced: fork the project you're interested in at github.com/Thalassicus. Github is a version control system. If you'd like to do this and the github version is out of date, please send me a message and I'll upload the latest version of the project.
Code: Civ V Unofficial Patch
- Add the Improved build queue mod.
- Add instructions for how to disable the excessive main menu warning screens with the files located in Civup's "NoChildGloves" folder.
- Core: Add a notification warning when any player gets close to victory.
- Core: Display a center-screen alert when resistance ends in a city.
- Autotips: When a city is selected, show the final yields buildings provide on building tooltips. For example, if a market gives +25% gold and the city base gold is 8, show +2 gold in an area at the bottom of the market tooltip.
- CsebExtendedPlotMouseover: Show +/- difference for terrain mouseover tip alt-key instead of absolute values. Always show this information if basic help is enabled.
- Interface-Cities: Update the CityStateDiploPopup, ProductionPopup, and WonderPopup files so they work with G&K.
- Trades: Add trade deal summary on trade opportunities civ name tooltip.
- Triggers: Turn random opportunity popups into side-bar notifications.
- On the Great Engineer tooltip, show the amount of production gained from their hurry mission in a city.
- In the lua file for the victory screen, hide the "land score".
- Armies: Fix the rounding error for unit costs on extremely slow game speeds.
- Armies: aircraft stationed on carriers share some experience with the carrier.
- Cities: Change "We Love The King" to a +50% growth bonus for 10 turns, on a cooldown.
- Cities: Liberated cities return to their pre-capture status (puppet, occupied, or normal).
- Leaders: Give Spain a short Golden Age when it discovers a Natural Wonder, instead of gold.
- Leaders: Make the Conquistador "Found City" mission not kill the unit.
- Policies: make the Honor opener culture based on unit cost and strength, and distribute it to cities.
- Terrain: Change leader placement to a weighted favorability system like how strategic resources are placed.
- Terrain: In the continents-plus and pangaea-plus maps, prevent land from generating within 2 tiles of the north/south poles if world wrap is enabled.
- Opportunity: instant Great Person points.
- Opportunity: Your spy has noticed a weak link in the targeted city – an employee of the state. If you pay him, he can use the money to bribe the target and get much closer to stealing a tech.
- WWGD: Make AIs consider resource availability when purchasing CS influence.
- WWGD: When purchasing CS influence, make AIs shift to a defensive strategy as rival influence with known citystates rises.
