Don't install this mod with Vox Populi as it already modifies the same thing this mod does. Change manually using notepad to Vox Populi file DefineChanges.sql located here:

Win10 Location
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5\MODS\(2) Vox Populi\Database Changes\

-- Maximum XP from combat vs barbarian/CS
UPDATE Defines SET Value = -1 WHERE Name = 'BARBARIAN_MAX_XP_VALUE';
UPDATE Defines SET Value = -1 WHERE Name = 'MINOR_MAX_XP_VALUE';

Hi, emm, i'm having a problem: i've downloaded the 5 utility mods(this one, the 3 for the Scout, and the one that ban the Futuristic units), and when i load my saved game, there's only one mod activated, even when i'm trying to load from the "Mods" section. Is there something to do about it?, i'm glad to know. There's no error sign, they just don't load

The mod only works in single player. How to enable it in multiplayer?

Chaos! Love it

@Kektonik

Glad to hear it ! :D
Kektonik 16 Dec, 2022 @ 4:03pm 
It works now! And perfectly so, I love the mod on Aztecs lol. Thanks!

@Kektonik

Try starting your new game from the MOD menu, NOT the single player menu. Use the MOD menu to load your game too when playing a modded game.

ALso, you can verify there if the mod appears in the list and is correctly installed. If thats not the case, try the troubleshooting section in the mod description.

Good Luck !

Doesn't seem to work for me after installing. tried restarting the game and 3 separate new games too :(
MarqFJA87 11 Sep, 2022 @ 7:49am 
I started a game with this mod active along several others, and it's working fine except for one oddity: The one Scout that I have can't gain any XP after reaching level 4. Is this normal?
Legodudelol9a 4 Apr, 2022 @ 1:10pm 
Is there a way to modify this so that barbarians never gain XP?
Rinoe 20 Apr, 2021 @ 1:00am 
must have mod!
WolfCrossing 27 Feb, 2021 @ 8:00pm 
This mod is fantastic on higher difficulties where you can get a few highly experienced units up to keep strong amidst vast armies of the AI. I love this mod. Such a simple fix that makes the early game much more enjoyable.
MagnusCerebrum 30 Nov, 2020 @ 10:14am 
Wow there's an XP cap for killing barbarians?
AspenForest732 26 Oct, 2020 @ 10:29am 
ooh I was wondering why I stopped getting xp from barbarians. Will definitely be downloading this
BulletSong 11 Apr, 2020 @ 6:05pm 
This is my favorite Civ 5 mod. It's so simple and clean, and really encourages enabling raging barbarians.
Dakkar Nemo 30 Sep, 2019 @ 1:57pm 
:steamhappy: By Crom I will be worth more than other Barbarians. If Crom disagrees, then he can kiss my...

@ThebrionicMan

I think he agree that he is worth experience even if you killed other barbarian before him XD !
Dakkar Nemo 22 Sep, 2019 @ 11:05am 
Great idea. This really helps balance for players who start in lands infested with barbarians. Anyone care to ask how Conan feels about this?
SirJoga 12 Dec, 2018 @ 9:49pm 
Hi BlouBlou, like ur useful mod. but i got some problems.
first of all i was not able to install it, like other mods. so i followed the steps in the troubleshootng section right above. After some tries i have now the mod listed in the game and i activated it.
As next step i started a new single player game. but the EXP stops growing after the unit got 30 of it.
Do u have further ideas, what i can do?
walter 25 Sep, 2018 @ 6:27pm 
This does not work for me - only other mod i am running is "enhanced user interface".
Am i doing something wrong? How can i fix this?
Nick Kruse 30 Aug, 2018 @ 3:20pm 
It just makes sense. Hero units are too much fun.

@Gorem

Glad you enjoy :)

Man I love this mod

I tried to mod with the Community Balance Patch. Although at their page it is listed as working without problems, it turned out to have no effect - and I have found the reason (and this is the case for virtually identical mod "No XP Cap from Barbarians"). CBP changes BARBARIAN_MAX_XP_VALUE to 45 and this overrides any changes made by the other mods (maybe I would need to change load order or so). A workaround: in the mod files change the file MODS\(2) Community Balance Overhaul\Balance Changes\CoreDefines.sql (at my computer this is in my user profile among the Civ V files) and change the value to -1.

Thanks for the mod!

Had the same problem as Nomad. Once I saved then loaded the game, the mod no longer worked, including previous auto-saves when it was working. I reloaded from the mod menu and don't really know why it stopped working.
BlouBlou  [author] 16 Jan, 2018 @ 8:43pm 
@The Massacrerer

Thats something you should ask the creator of the mod you are speaking of, since this one has only 1 line of code, not much lever here :)
The Massacrerer 12 Jan, 2018 @ 8:21pm 
Really loved this mod (thank you), but now I play Vox Populi, and it doen't work anymore. Any chance it will be made compatible with VP?
BlouBlou  [author] 18 Dec, 2017 @ 2:45pm 
@Nomad

Make sure you load your game from the MOD menu and not from the Single player menu.

If you did so, check that the effect is still in place instead of just checking the list
Nomad 13 Dec, 2017 @ 9:19am 
Love this mod, only problem I have been having is that after I save the game and then go and load it this mod is no longer listed as being active. Is there a way to fix this or am I missing something obvious?
BlouBlou  [author] 5 Dec, 2017 @ 2:07pm 
@King Ragnar

The mod cache of civ V always been very sensible, they made great progress but there is still few glitches.

Sometimes you just need to resub like you did, sometimes you need deep cache cleaning as mentionned in the troubleshooting section of the mod description.

Anyway, glad it works! :)
Perro 3 Dec, 2017 @ 4:25pm 
@BlouBlou

They were fresh new games. I unsubbed and resubbed to give it another try, started a fresh game and I've had no problems since. Weird :steamhappy:
BlouBlou  [author] 3 Dec, 2017 @ 8:27am 
@King Ragnar

Did you start a fresh new game or you tried to add the mod and then load a save game that was started without it?
Perro 2 Dec, 2017 @ 9:59pm 
Hello :>. So twice I've tried starting a game with only this mod active and both times it crashed and closed the game. Is there anything I can try doing to fix this?
Cringe Isekai Enjoyer 28 Nov, 2017 @ 6:34am 
Hi there, I found out that there is actually an option in the meny allowing the get gen points from fighting barbarians. Sorry about my mistake. ":D Awesome mod!
Cringe Isekai Enjoyer 28 Nov, 2017 @ 2:03am 
Hi there! I would like to let you know that the mod is good and working just as fine, BUT for one thing: Units are leveling up just as fine, but their experience is not being added to the General generation points when fighting barbarians (while about lvl 2 already)
I will test with another mod here in workshop that does the same thing and see if problem persists in the other mod as well.
BlouBlou  [author] 14 Aug, 2017 @ 9:14am 
@Drk_Kni8

Achewivement are not triggered in any modded game. whatever mod you are using
Drk_Kni8 14 Aug, 2017 @ 12:50am 
Love this mod!!! but can someone confirm if achievements are not triggered with this mod?
ryanwuzhere 13 May, 2017 @ 9:37am 
What do I do when this mod won't show up on the Mod screen??
Interleaved Structure 9 May, 2017 @ 1:36am 
Thank you!
Renee 2 Apr, 2017 @ 8:17pm 
Does this work in Multiplayer?
cornhooole 7 Mar, 2017 @ 11:36am 
Love it, +1
ForevaNoob Wonemorturn 11 Jan, 2017 @ 4:58am 
I don't think it's even possible loding it through the regular menu without crashing actually. How would I know? I haven't been using the single player menu from the day I ran into yours mods! You're the only culprit here... ;-)
The question doesn't really matter, it's strictly curiosity as it happenned twice in a row...
BlouBlou  [author] 10 Jan, 2017 @ 12:37pm 
@ForevaNoob Wonemorturn

When you load a modded saved game, be sure to go through the mod menu to load it, not the singleplayer menu.
ForevaNoob Wonemorturn 8 Jan, 2017 @ 6:28am 
Hi you
I'm playing two 'new to me' maps: British Islands and Bering's Strait. It seems the XP stops growing against barbs after 60/100. Does that ring a bell to you?
Narrelama 3 Dec, 2016 @ 1:33am 
Invaluable if you play with the expanded promotions pack

@BlouBlou

Thanks for your help - but I had no folder for Mods as shown in the troubleshooting.

But I got it instead, my mistake was not to use gameoverlay of Steam for downloading some Mods, so it didn´t work.
When I unsubscribed these Mods and downloaded them again by using the overlay, it worked fine.
