Description
A collection of mods which do not alter the game all too much and should be part of the vanilla experience IMO. Provides a UI overhaul similar to CQUI.
Not yet tested on the Ethiopia update, so the new civ or gamemode might cause issues.

Summary
  • Better AI (Real strategy, smoother difficulty)
  • Various UI mods
  • More units (Steel and thunder, RED)
  • Expands religion (Tomatekh's Historical Religions, Religion Expanded)
  • Visual changes (RED, CIV5 skin)
  • More natural wonders (Terra Mirabilis, Sukritact's)
  • Better coastal cities
  • Small changes like more city names, more dialogue, faster startup, being able to zoom out more
Notes
For some users, this can result in animated leaders with hair loss. This can be fixed by lowering animated leader quality to low (looks the same?) or play on DX11, rather than DX12.

The following mods will have compatibility issues. You can disable them using the in-game mod editor or unsubscribe either one.
  • Simplified Gossip and Extended Diplomacy Ribbon have an incompatibility as of writing this. Easily Fixable, but Simplified gossip could also left out.
Looking to add
  • Better envoy screen? Being able to instantly see how many envoys you are ahead/behind would be nice
  • Better city panel (show districts in city and citizen management like CQUI)
Changes
  • Removed Good Goody Huts mod, too OP.
