This is just an idea that occurred to me. I have no modding skills so it is merely the seed of a mod, not a plan for one.

What if there were a mod that would allow you to create a civ for yourself on the fly and in game, by picking from a menu of unique abilities, unique units, unique buildings, etc? Then you could choose a leader in a similar way, with variable traits and perks. You'd get a certain number of points to spend on all this, so you should in theory create a fairly balanced civ, though I suppose there's no harm in single player in allowing for "killer" civs that are all OP traits & abilities.

Once the civ is created, named & saved, you could pit it against other vanilla civs or those from the mod list.

4X Games generally allow such custom starts and I think it would be interesting in Civ VI as well.

I recognize that being able to do this in game might not be feasible and it might involve a special module to boot up before launching the game. But regardless, I'm thinking of something much simpler and more WYSIWYG than Mod Buddy or whatever equivalent Civ VI will use. I could use Mod Buddy to mod a map but I never was able to get beyond that, so that's why I mention a streamlined interface for this.
