Are those the ones that have stuff like 'Firepit' as buildings? I've always found those mods a bit much.

No modder has ever had the discipline to hold back. Every idea they've ever had must be included.

Fall from heaven 2 is the mod of mods for Civ4, but it's fantasy, so it might not be your cup of tea setting wise.

FfH2 is clearly the best, but History Rewritten is also pretty good for a real-world setting.

I picked up Civ 4 a couple times since I read the post upthread about how you were able to go back to it and it holds up. I think it does too! One nice thing I notice about it is that, a full marathon game of Civ 5 can take like sixteen-plus hours; a full marathon game of Civ 4 you can do in like an evening. It's good  I haven't really been feeling Civ for a while but it was satisfying to play these few games, thanks Guildencrantz Fur20 fucked around with this message at 07:24 on Sep 26, 2018 |

I can't play Civ4 anymore without the RevolutionDCM mod. It's fun.

I haven't tried other Civ IV mods, but yeah, FfH2 is pretty drat fun. Based on my experience I've found the AI is pretty competitive, and the different leaders and factions do a great job of giving the player a lot of different ways to play. I swear there was an LP of the mod done a few years ago, but it's not on the archives or anything. The LPer ran a game as the Luchuirp (sp?) dwarves and showed off the golems and Barnaxus. It would be great to read again because I have no way of gauging how well I'm actually doing.

Man, if FFH2 is impressive to you guys, y'all should see Master of Mana. A mod of a mod of a mod. It might be the most impressive modding effort I've ever seen in my life, and I played a lot of Civ 4 and Doom.

ibntumart posted:A Dune reskin of Civ IV? Welp, looks like I'm about to take a nostalgia trip gamewise *and* sci-fiwise... off to download. That does sound awesome. I'll have to try it after finals. I sometimes still play Civ V online with a few friends while chatting. It's fun, but it usually amounts to "Let's see who spawns closest to Egypt or some other guy that makes a ton of wonders you can then effortlessly steal and win the game."

Try it out, it's a lot of fun if you think you'd enjoy what's essentially a D&D-themed Civ. I recently played as the Sheaim and Clan of Embers. They're great for mindless conquests early on with units like the Sheaim Pyre Zombie, which detonates on death, or with the Clan's Warrens building that produces 2 of certain units instead of 1 (from what I can tell, anything living/non-unique, including settlers and workers).

They're drawn from a pool whose size depends on either map size or player numbers, so you'll never know for sure which one is next, but there are some that give really lovely bonuses you might not need. The engineer that builds a bunch of walls, or Alan Turing, who gives a paltry bonus and the Eureka for Computers, which I've never not gotten ages before the tech option shows up, for example.

I think they are randomised at the beginning of the game. It's useful if you get that guy that gives science to your Holy Sites and you are Kongo or something like that. Edit: beaten like trying to build Stonehenge.

There are also certain ones that require you to have specific districts built to activate them, so you might pass and try to get one that you can use

Blame the devs, it seems they've decided literally googling "Kilimanjaro quotes" is sufficient enough these days. It's from a college student's blog or something. The quotes that have little to nothing to do with the wonder/tech/civic baffle me. Someone else said this before but it's like an unpaid intern was left in charge of the quotes.

You might also want to check out the More Naval AI modmod. It adds a bunch of bug fixes that didn't make it into the last version of FFH2 (like those pyre zombies not actually blowing up, apparently? I've never actually played the Sheaim so I can't say if that's the case), some AI improvements (not just boat stuff, despite the name) and a couple extra features that you can disable in custom games. It doesn't fall down the "pile on more features!!!" well as hard as the other FFH2 modmods. I'm mostly repping it because I like the "super forts" feature. It makes forts give you cultural control over their square, even if it should belong to another civ's city. But only as long as you have at least one unit in that fort. ProfessorCirno posted:The quote for Great Zimbabwe is literally a bizarre white supremecist conspiracy theory thing. I like how the civilopedia text includes a snarky bit about it being built of stone "in the jungle". It's not in a jungle, as looking at even one photo would show you.

I actually like that walls one, you get two levels of walls in three cities, so you can plonk them in border cities that take dozens of turns to build the simplest of things plus get the Eureka that you might otherwise miss. I've used patronage to get it once, even. In my first game I was England, building lots of dockyards and ended up with about five great admirals. At least you can explore with them, I guess?
