So unique districts in Civ VII can form by putting two unique buildings together on a tile?. I smell Urban Complexity, Civ VII edition: combos for normal buildings. Not just yield swaps, but imagine e.g. Art Museums changing to Archaeology if put together with a University.

Spending way too much time on trying to hunt every last view of buildings in Civ VII, I think the Persian style Library is my favorite so far. Just a superb asset all around, with amazing detail on the textures and actual visible scrolls on the shelves.

Tried recreating Civ VII's plantation for Civ VI. What I like about the new art is that it uses the entire tile instead of leaving an unneccessarily wide margin.

After quite a few hours of trial & error, I got it. Really happy that I actually managed to get the reed plants to follow the waterline instead of just being randomly spread out.
On to the next: Finally updating Wetlands to make marshes no longer look like ink blots. Random scattering of reeds and grass didn't work out nicely. I like this handcrafted result but don't have a satisfying solution for how to bring it into the game yet, unfortunately.

some more experimentation with the farm system: more variety of farm plot colors. Makes the Wheat resource stand out less, but feels a lot more natural.

Civ 6: Districts now compete with improvements for space. Humankind: sprawling cities, farmland is just a border around it. Ara: only urban tiles, it seems?. Current 4X devs really hate rural areas, don't they? PLEASE, the ancient world was not an ecumenopolis.

Still a lot of adjustments left to do (tree size, weakening the grid, etc.) but in principle this shows the general direction I'm aiming for: seamless rural areas by using the farm plot system for more types of improvements.

Sometimes you just want to update one mod but the changes require so many compatibility adjustments that you end up hogging (almost) the entire "Last Updated" page at once, lol. It can be a lot of work but I hope Civ VII will once again allow this level of mod interoperability.

ngl I did not have "Civ VII whitewashing colonialism more than previous games" on my bingo card. By forcing terra map mode, they tore down in one fell swoop any progress made by ugprading "barbarians" and adding a Native American civ at launch. .

Just in case someone was wondering what my latest surveys were about: For what might be my final big Civ VI project (pls hurry up with VII, Firaxis!), I'd like to replace Secret Societies (I don't like supernatural things in my civ games) with "Sports Leagues".

You may not like it, but this is what peat civ modding looks like!. - Peat now improved by farms so it doesn't break your floodplain farmland adjacencies.- Swamp finally a feature instead of resource now (can be removed, which replaces it with a regular floodplains feature)

I once again beg 4X devs to consult someone who knows about settlement patterns. These farmstead rectangles are in the middle of the field instead of on roads for some reason and this ancient city's suburbanism would make an American urban renewal planner from the 70s blush.

I won't stick to this new thumbnail style because it's tough to use with stuff like wonders where a single object is meant to be centered. But for landscape changes it's great and as I just turned these mods into their own series, I'm gonna keep the look there. More to come. ?

The Sumerian temple was more than just a monument or a site of worship. It also formed the center of the urban economy, with workshops, markets, and warehouses, as well as scribes to manage property, taxes, and maybe even one or the other customer complaint about metal products.

Pure insanity at this point just how stacked Hooded Horse's lineup has become. So many of the best strategy/builder as of late in there. Firaxis has been challenged by strategy giants Microsoft, SEGA, and Paradox. May God have mercy on us the day HH picks up a pan-historic 4X. .
The Hooded Horse Publisher Sale is live until October 10. Breachway is out in Early Access, Against the Storm: Keepers of the Stone DLC has launched, and all our titles are on sale now!. @Lord_Mandalore has made something absolutely mad for this. See the link below.

Working on a little cosmetic thing. Making around 40-50 icons (per skin color) is going to be a lot of work, so for now I'm just using Anno 1800 icons as placeholder. They're pretty neat tbh.

Making progress on the future era units. These are done, the others have some wrinkles left to iron out. Won't be super-high quality as the attack animations are missing the actual shots and impact effects, but we all play with quick combat turned on anyway, right?

It's finally out. Project 6T, with "Grand Eras" as the centerpiece in this overhaul not adding much gameplay on its own beyond new techs/civics, instead relying on all the modular content I and many others have created over the last five years of Civ VI.

@FXS_MisterKevin Love them all but with the lopsided representation I can't wait for you to say "last patch of the season" again so we can keep hoping for some Meso- and South America (and also Latin Europe with Rome and Spain) after this!.

Many things can be said about Civ's relationship with colonial gaze, but why write 1000 words when a picture will do: Locations of modded world wonders (red) vs. modded natural wonders (green). Have not found any other aspect of the game expressing the divide this drastically.

The results make sense, imho the chronic 4X late-game problem goes back to a loss of the exploration component. Late-game units have exciting combat. "Numbers go brrrr" never stops. Expansion also slows down but often on player's own terms ("tall"). But exploration is just lost.
Which of the 4Xs do you like the most? ๐๏ธ.

@PotatoMcWhiskey Gamers can be insufferable sometimes. The myth persists that Civ comes barebones for a main release because they dropped the ball *once* with Civ V in that regard. Civ VI was fairly "complete" on launch and had only cut the roughest features that indeed needed a rework first.

@CivGame you will also need this mod to make your forest and jungle look like that: I know it's shameless self-promotion, but since Civ/Firaxis still doesn't post regular (or even sporadic!) mod showcases like Paradox or Amplitude do, it has to be done, lol.

Do aliens exist? And if so, can they help our exoplanet expedition a bit and slow down everyone else's? Or are you just going to search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) to inspire your scientists? Either way you'll need a large telescope array!.

I beg you to let devs finish their game even if it means delaying it. Millennia would've benefitted so much from like half a year more in the oven or so. Which it might never get post-launch because now the devs need to crank out a Paradox-level DLC flood.

Little peek at current project: Mercenaries & Privateers, a new game mode with new units:.- unlocked by civics, purchase-only.- cheap to buy but expensive maintainance.- limited lifespan.- unique promotions, choose out of 3 randoms.- unique name list (GDR names placeholder here)

I want to pin this tweet in every comment section of my mods. .
Feel free to experiment and have fun with mods but please don't report bugs if you use them. I spent time today checking a "missing granary model" bug only to learn that it's caused by a "storage plus" mod.

But wait, there's more! I actually have another district expansion coming up. For the Diplomatic Quarter, I'll try something new: after the three options for tier 1, you will only get a single building option for tier 2 at a time, depending on the tier 1 choice - like an upgrade.

I think I found a neat project that is easily split into smaller elements that I can work on whenever I have a bit of time: a second unique infrastructure for all civs, mostly unique buildings. A small glimpse at how assembling building models begins, with visual reference.

Counterpoint: do try it out and report your issues to the creator. Modders aren't professional dev studios who can hire testers and QA. Rather, mods are co-creations with the community and people trying out mods *despite* them being janky is fundamental to fixing that very jank.
This Witcher 3 mod that lets you play as a custom character or a whole new sorceress class is super promising, but maybe wait a few months for it to iron out the kinks
