Happy February! I just posted an update to Ananse's BFG Modpack.
https://forums.civfanatics.com/resources/ananses-bfg-modpack.25825/
I'm posting here because I'm incredibly proud of how far the modpack is come. And there are SO MANY features in it that it's really hard for me to give them adequate press. Let me try to paint a picture of what's going on:
This modpack starts from the latest version of CQUI by Chaorace, which is IMO the very best interface mod out there at the moment. Also integrated is Deity++ by Myopic Cat, which changes difficulty settings and rulesets.
From there it moves to the next level where it revamps the tech and civics tree with my own mod, Linear Technology, that adds a bunch of new techs, civics, policies, governments, and even a new era at the end of the game, the Scarcity Era. At this level it also improves all religious beliefs, adds seven new natural wonders to the game, and makes a bunch of changes to improvements, such as allowing lumber mills on jungles, adding yield to coast tiles, and more.
Next, it stacks on top of that the Moar Units mod by Deliverator up to the latest version, and on top of that, both Moar Units expansions for Aztec and Poland. Then it stacks on top of that RED Mod by Gedemon which resizes all the units, including the new ones from Aztec and Poland (I did that part myself). This is something really cool that only became possible with LoadOrder commands discovered in the Winter Update.
Then it stacks on top of that my own unit mod, Strategos, which adds an additional forty or so units to the game. This fully fleshes out many upgrade lines, adds a whole new tier of units beyond the Information Era, and adds a bunch of cool new support units.
After all that it applies the AI+ mod by Siesta Guru, which dramatically improves AI performance, followed by my own AI modifications (hint: I still wouldn't get your hopes up too high).
That's the gist of it anyway. Somewhere in there it also includes Wondrous Wonders by Magil, not sure how it got left out
So if you haven't checked out the modpack, I recommend you give it a shot, have lots of fun, and let me know what you think!
