JFD has built an enormous stable of new civilizations, as well as alternate leaders for civs already in the game. Their list of created mods is a mile long, but the shining star of the collection is the “Civilization and Leader” series. One of the most prolific Civilization VI modders (and my personal favorite) is JFD. Below, I’ve chosen five of my favorite and explained why they’re important to my personal Civ experience. There are hundreds of cosmetic mods that exist just to add flavor to your games.Īs a hopeless Civ 6 addict, I have experience with quite a few mods. It’s not just gameplay that’s covered, either. They run the gamut from altering UI elements to adding entirely new civilizations. Since Firaxis released the modding tools in 2017, thousands of mods have been made available on the Steam Workshop. Luckily, there exists a dedicated community of Civ fans who are constantly working to make the game easier to consume and digest. A side effect of all these variables, though, is that Civ 6 games have the potential to snowball into a mass of statistics and spreadsheets, diplomatic relationships, and resource management. An avalanche of variables-things like map layout, included leaders, resource abundance, and starting locations-ensure limitless replayability.
A game of Civilization 6 is a personal, unique experience that plays out differently every time you load up a match.
