Civ V with Vox Populi overhaul mod

[-] cwagner@lemmy.cwagner.me 8 points 11 months ago

For those who don’t know, Vox Populi was Community Balance Patch, was Communitas Patch, and including all the history has been in active development for almost as long as Civ V has existed. A recent change was to introduce the community council to vote on proposals.

Vox Populi is the reason I have 2510 hours of Civ V, and why I don’t care about Civ VI, as the mod makes V just far superior. For those trying it for the first time, the general recommendation is to lower your difficulty 2 steps from what you normally play, as the AI is vastly improved.

The normal install thread is here, but it’s currently in a beta state thanks to a huge code cleanup. I’m playing with the last 3.x release which you can find on their GitHub as I use other mods that are not yet updated for version 4.

There is another thread in case you want to play multiplayer as that does not support normal mods. But I only play single player ;)

Civ V is always the game I return to, or that I play when I don’t feel like playing anything else.

A gaming sub free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.
