One of my favorites - Scouts get experience for exploring. Makes the card to give them double xp worth using and much easier to get to lvl 3. I've also had fun with - A mountain is fine too. This changes gameplay a bit because it adds resources to Mountain tiles and allows any civ to work them, along with a Mountain Hamlet which a builder can put on a mountain for housing and one culture right off the bat.
I would love to have longer in the classical era and medieval because the buildings are so nice or is like to be able to select that style as it permanently go onward
One of my absolute favourites is a Historic Religions mod. It adds loads of well researched religions from all eras of time and raises the cap of religions allowed in game, which makes religious gameplay way more interesting. Highly recommend!
Would throw my hat in the ring for Terra Mibillis, which adds a bunch of well-balanced natural wonders and alters every wonder to give more unique non-yield bonuses
JFD is a modder who is infamous for making the "Rule with Faith" mod collection. Which basically makes governments more interesting Not to mention: Civitas City state overhaul mod. As well as Gedemo's City State collection.
I happen to like the bigger maps mod combined with more resources (mainly amenities) mod, as well as the mod that makes things take slightly longer, to keep early game units viable deeper into the game. I also use a mod that allows me to raze capitols. Makes for an interesting challenge, where I raze every city I take, and am forced to build my own from the ground up.
The best looking mods seem to be the ones that take their cue from the Civ 4 UI. Extended Policy Cards is very similar to the Civ 4 government screen, which would tell you what sort of effects you'd be getting when making some sort of switch. Global Relations is right out of the Civ 4 diplomatic screen. Seriously, Civ 5 and 6 did make some minor improvements on the game (love the hexes and I think 1UPT was the right way to go), but the Civ 4 UI was seriously the best I've ever seen in any Civ game. It was easy to navigate, you could access all the info you would ever need at a glance, and it didn't feel like there was any guesswork about how to optimize your Civ. I remember the Civ 5 UI was terrible in vanilla (I remember being frustrated by trade routes), but it got better by BNW. Civ 6 UI is just awful, though. And even after years of patches and DLC, some basic things were just never addressed. Like that "Extended Policy Cards" thing should have been the default. The trade route window is still a step back from Civ 5 (eg. sure, there's an "available routes" screen, but a) you can't look at _all_ of the origin cities and sort the trade routes by yield, and b) you can't even manually go through all the available routes because your capital never shows up as an origin city in that menu for some reason). You also can't check to see your trader paths during active routes, so you never really know where to put Reyna if you're going for that "passing through" bonus. Edit: Also forgot, I hate that you don't get a reminder when your deals with the AI expire. So if you're going for a culture victory where you want to have open borders with every other Civ to squeeze out a few extra tourism points, you have to keep checking that the agreement's still in effect. Same with luxury for GPT agreements. Late game, you might be making a ton of gold off of selling luxuries, so even if you let the deal lapse for two or three turns because you didn't notice that the deal expired, you've lost out on a decent amount of gold just because nobody bothered to program a simple reminder into the game like they had in the previous installments.
I love the better report screen. OMG how did I survive so long with the basic UI. It's really useful for the units, and the unit list is much more manageable than the default unit list. I also use nukes new animation, natural gas, Sukritract's Oceans (I agree it's a fantastic mod), Steel and Thunder units mods, and of course colorized historic moments and ynamp. I'll be subscribing to detailed map tacs I think, extended policy cards and hillier hills looks good too.
Thanks, that video helped me. Like, i don't know what to install there's so many mods 😂(and that's so cool) Also, someone made a addon for JFD's Soviet Union, it's [GS] Soviet Union - Khrushchev on the steam workshop, i find it cool too.
Anyone know the exact name of the 1st modder workshop he suggested? All I caught for sure was Sukritacts because the spelling is in the vid and assumedly JFD is just those letters.
First of thank you for this video mosto of them work i have a question about Soviet Union in main menu it says it CANNOT be enabled due to the following Expansion : Rise and fall - Expansion : gathering storm and finally JFD's Soviet Union if someona knows why pls help me out.
9:41 I know it's a game, and it's suppose to be fun, light-hearted video, but this dude is anything from "funny mustache man", he is literally a war criminal, gulag is no better place than concentration camp. Just a 'the more you know' moment. Aside from that nice video, I didn't know couple of them mods before.
I don't use any mods since I can't get my one I care about to work anymore. I just want Yet Not Another Map Pack to work so I can have my huge earth. Regular maps are stupid, just like the loyalty thing, world congress garbage, influence trash, weather disaster trash, all crap. I just want standard rules and my proper earth map. But Even Modas True Start Earth, doesn't work. So the game is pretty much dead to me.
Im kinda cringed for pillaging theme for soviets. Among other imperialist powers, soviets relied the least on pillaging local sources and relied on their own strategics the most. Post soviet countries are mostly poor not because they got pillaged but because soviets themselves failed.
It might be based on historic situations, where Russian troops would pillage as they retreated in order to deny resources to the invaders. I believe Napoleon's ill fated vacation was one such situation.
Nope, that's fitting for the soviets. The whole occupation of Eastern Europe was Soviet imperialism of stealing local resources and labor. Russia is poor because soviets failed, every other post-soviet country is poor because soviet exploitation.
@@user-fm7xv5pk5z as for labor, yeah but otherwise a huge no. it is nothing compared to other imperialist powers. I was blown away by georgia when I saw the soviet infrastructure there. Pillaging is literally stealing local goods. Look at how ridiculous amounts diamonds ivory and gold taken away from africa. Theming soviets based on that is nonsense.
@@berkut3919 Yeah no, you're ignorant. You're pretending that the suffering that Eastern Europe had to go trough because of Soviet imperialism does not matter, which makes you just as bad as nazi apologists and the same imperialists you accuse of exploiting africa. ''diamonds ivory and gold'' Now let's compare it to Soviet Imperialism, where tens of thousands of people lost their home and belongings because of Soviet pillaging. Soviet infrastructure was not built to last, so I doubt you actually saw Soviet infrastructure that was not rebuilt after Soviet times. You're a disgusting hypocrite.
@@awpace3765 I think you missed the point you kinda just said a bunch of random shit Stalin is just as evil as Hitler but he is never censored when you cant even say Hitler's name on TH-cam with being demonized and you can't say his name on Facebook without being postblocked. It's okay to talk about any evil world leader, Stalin, Pol Pot, Idi Amin, Mao Ze Dong, but for some reason Hitler is completely off limits, I think it's weird. I also think Hitler would be very happy if he could see how afraid everyone still is of him 76 after his death.

I think I played a grand total of 1 month of Civ 6 before installing Terra Mibillis and never looked back.
Thank you for this , 2:40 especially ..it was driving me nuts in the late game. Why isn't this in the base game already is beyond me
JFD is a modder who is infamous for making the "Rule with Faith" mod collection. Which basically makes governments more interesting
Not to mention: Civitas City state overhaul mod. As well as Gedemo's City State collection.
sounds fun, ill check them both out
I thought Rule with Faith wasn't maintained and had issues with new versions?
Great video, I'm definitely adding a couple of these mods to my game. Thank you!

Extended Eras is great for game pacing. I can’t go back

What if I told you deserts DO exist beside tundra? Deserts aren't all in hot regions, there are plenty of cold deserts in the world.
I have several mods related to UI, they work sooo well that I dont even remember what is or not part of the base game
Очень нужное видео, для игроков которые немного играют в циву но любят её
Thanks, that video helped me. Like, i don't know what to install there's so many mods 😂(and that's so cool)
Also, someone made a addon for JFD's Soviet Union, it's [GS] Soviet Union - Khrushchev on the steam workshop, i find it cool too.
Great video, thanks. Will download these
No problem 👍
Can you make a video detailing how to get and install these mods?
Go to the steam workshop and then just click subscribe on them its insanely easy
Oh my god that map is sexy.
Anyone know the exact name of the 1st modder workshop he suggested? All I caught for sure was Sukritacts because the spelling is in the vid and assumedly JFD is just those letters.
chapters have all the mods, what time was it exactly on the video?
@@TheCivLifeR the 3 modder workshops at the very end. Great vid btw, should really freshen up the game for me!
@@restroyer JFD, Sukritact, and Gedemo Are The Last 3 ad thank you!
I love the mod that gives workers more than 3 improvements.
Verrrrrrry helpful, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Have you ever used civilization expanded or wondrous wonders?
First of thank you for this video mosto of them work i have a question about Soviet Union in main menu it says it CANNOT be enabled due to the following Expansion : Rise and fall - Expansion : gathering storm and finally JFD's Soviet Union if someona knows why pls help me out.
well that elizabeth joke aged well
AI Booster combined with Real Strategy AI Mod is the best Civ VI experience.
how are you placing the map tacks without confirming what you selected?
the amount of civilization adding mods with anime girls as the leader on the steam workshop is astounding
Please make a “let’s play” of the Soviet Union mod
Do you miss out on steam achievements if you subscribe to any of these mods?
which mod is showing you all the resource yields in each node?
Are these mods for Steam only, or they available for the stand alone Mac or PC games?
How to get that overwiew tabs in top right corner of civilisations, with military strength/science/gold etc?
I would like to know too
9:41 I know it's a game, and it's suppose to be fun, light-hearted video, but this dude is anything from "funny mustache man", he is literally a war criminal, gulag is no better place than concentration camp.
Just a 'the more you know' moment. Aside from that nice video, I didn't know couple of them mods before.
Is there a mod that disables coastal flooding? I absolutely loathe being forced to rush flood barriers
cant get the mod on the top right for the detailed civs to work
There is a City Lights mod that I had downloaded in my game but it crashes when I play the game. Therefore, I have abandoned the mod.
I love how he talks about a graphic mod, and proceeds to showcase a menu rather than the mod itself.
Does the extended policy cards need gathering storm or rise and fall? I can’t get it to work and don’t know why
It requires the better report screen mod to work since it's based off it.
How can I add all the mods to my epic games acc for civ6? Any sources? Couldnt find 😢
Civ noob here, where do i go to download these mods exactly? like the map tacks especially.
Steam workshop
that queen elizabeth joke didn't age that well xD
Lol watching this now, Skyrim has outlived the Queen 0:11
Are you still able to get achievements when playing with Mods?
Yes
Any of those mods need dlc? Because i have no dlc
I don't use any mods since I can't get my one I care about to work anymore. I just want Yet Not Another Map Pack to work so I can have my huge earth.

repeat future is a good one
What is happeing at 6:35
Can you put a links on this mods in that video?
sad no steam link for abbo
Where or how do I install them?
I wish there were mods that made all the civs look like the civs from civ 5 instead of an awful off-brand cartoon character
The beginning did not age well, FOR THE QUEEN!!!
Rare blood line
Almighty God is Ralph Pell
0:10 did he knew?
Does Civ 6 has like Vox Populi mod?
I dont think so
Finally no more guessing
you've come to the right place!
Dude detailed map tacks and detailed policy cards were game changers for me.
noice
very noice
Is it a mod or a setting where you can see each player's current score in a banner format on the top right of your screen?
It is a setting under interfaces I believe
I have searched this for years! Thanks!
Joseph Stalin with market economy?
Wheres game with Ralph that God with pantyhose?
i love you man
:D
:15: That aged poorly.
Me while watching this video : "WRITE THAT DOWN ! WRITE THAT DOWN !"
No mention of the Lord of the Rings civ and map mods? Shame
Like!
i have them -.-
lol I guess you get clickbaited :D
Este juego es un caos y ponerlo en multijugador seria un suicidio
me on ps4 :(
thats rough buddy
@@TheCivLifeR oh damn just looked and the anthrology bundle is less than 30 bucks on steam rn might rebuy it
:- D
i have a hitler mod with the stalin mod wheres hitler?
Why only add Stalin as leader? Why not add Hitler in the mix.
Just curious why Stalin is accepted as a a leader and Hitler would not.
I just listed the mods I liked the best. The hitler mod is pretty good but not AS good as the 4 I mentioned
