The best DLC idea ever for Civ 5

[Teodosio]

The absolute very best DLC you can offer for Civilization 5 would be what I call "Mod Packs". These mod packs would be theme based and specifically designed for Modders. They would essentially be units, graphics, and animations professionally created by Firaxis staff and sold as DLC. There's an unlimited number of themes you could offer for sale such as Fantasy (wizards, dragons, etc.), WW1, WW2, Napoleonic, Colonization-era, SciFi, and on, and on, and on....

I, for one, think that this is an interesting idea. With so many mods around we can see that modders mainly focus on gameplay changes and in programming, not so much in graphics. This is probably because they are interested in new gameplay ideas and these can be implemented relatively quickly (having adequate programming skills, of course), while graphics is a much longer work (and much less interesting for the programming-inclined guys).
I believe that graphics dlc packs could have a market, yes.

Fantastic idea (Although I'm still not sure I would want to pay Firaxes $5 for the mod pack when the guy who actually designed the mod would be getting nothing)

But really, I think the mods I play are way better and more polished then anything Firaxes has done and this would open up a whole new world for the modders and make them more likely to create awesome games because they don't have to waste time on unit animation and stuff.
