Description

A collection of all the Civ 5 mods I deem essential to improve your experience.

All of these mods are compatible with one another, you will have to check the mods individually for compatibility outside my collections.

The last 7 mods in this collection do NOT work on multiplayer.
Playing with mods on multiplayer is easy with MP Patch! [github.com]

I recommend Fall of Civilizations Podcast for all civ enjoyers!
