Elder Scrolls City State Overhaul

2024: This mod solely replaces the base game City States by changing their names, city state types, descriptors, and flavors (how their AI operates) to match an Elder Scrolls theming. No unit changes, no special abilities, no other UI or detail edits. It isn't anything fancy, but you might find it fun in your own play sessions if you're using other fantasy Civilisation mods (especially if it's Elder Scrolls related!) I won't be updating this mod in any future time as I haven't played Civilization 5 in years, but it should as far as I'm aware still be completely functional with the base game and with any DLCs without issue. :)

It was the first functional mod I ever made in any game and finished, and one I played with quite a bit for a few different sessions as I loved the feel it had with fantasy Civilisation mods, difficult to capture when real cities appeared next to Skyrim, or other places like Gondor, Equestria, or Panem (same game)!

It'll always hold a special place in my heart, but that's all. If it serves you use, that's wonderful news! :) If not, I hope you can find other mods to sift through! The community here is rich in brilliant creativity from over a decade. Civ 5 inspired my nowadays proficient coding skills, and if you have something you're hoping to find, I honestly encourage you to try making it yourself. It's an extremely fun and satisfying journey to learn!



(Pre-Note: Mercantile and Religious city states were ommitted due to personal bias, and due to this the mod does not require any DLCs. You are free to do whatever with it~. ...some City States will not appear if you lack DLCs though, as it replaces rather than adds.)
