Description
Greetings and salutations!

I've compiled a collection of mods that I find to improve the Civ V experience while remaining as close to the core gameplay as possible. While I have experimented with many mods for Civ V, and there are many fine and interesting mods available, I believe that with too many mods installed Civ V tends to become something other than what the developers perhaps intended. To that end, these mods are designed to be played in concert and provide the least gameplay changes with the most gameplay improvements. Mods which I have chosen for this project are limited primarily to map scripting mods, diplomatic add-ons, UI tools, and historical/cultural improvements.

Don't let my puritanical ideas stop you from finding the right mods for you! I've merely compiled a list of the mods that I most appreciate.

NOTE: Intended to be played with official DLC Brave New World and Gods & Kings! I am not the creator of any of the mods listed below, please give credit where credit is due.
