Civilization 5: the three best mods

Civilization 5 has gotten some good mods by now. We show you the three best of them in our article.

Edit Everything in Civilization - The Ingame Editor

The Ingame Editor is a mod that practically allows you to play God in Civilization 5. We show you how to activate all mods in our picture gallery.

• You can edit almost anything: this includes ignoring restrictions and placing fish on hills.
• You can not only use the mod in advance, but also to change an existing game.
• With the in-game editor, you can quickly give your civilization the technologies or miracles you need.
• The maps are very easy to adapt: ​​for example, the terrain, vegetation and wildlife can be changed.
• If you notice in the middle of the game that a certain resource in a certain field would be very cheap, you can use the ingame editor mod to add it to your game.
• The user interface of the mod is very simple and easy to understand. We have marked a few things for you in the screenshot.

Globe Mod in Civilization 5 - Play the World

The name says it all: With Mod Play the World you can locate your civilization anywhere on the world map.

• The mod has different versions. For example, you can also include the DLCs with the new states.
• The resources on the changed map are where they would be found in the normal course of the game. If you lack important resources, you can always add new material fields with the Ingame Editor.
• Similar to the resources, the wonders of the world are already distributed on the map. That means you can find, for example, the pyramids in Egypt and the colossus in Greece.
• It is important that you choose the version that is compatible with your game. Our link is suitable for the Vanilla version, i.e. without any DLCs.

Map Mods for Civilization 5 - Map Packs

Card mods for civilization are also very popular. You can use these mods to populate your favorite worlds. We give you a few examples of this below.

• For fans of Game of Thrones, the right thing is certain: a Westeros map.
• The only disadvantage of the Westeros map is that the resources are distributed randomly. As a result, you may have problems with resources at the beginning. But here, too, you can get replenishments with the Ingame Mod.
• If you are a loyal follower of the Lord of the Rings series, you might like the following mod: A Middle Earth map.
• The general idea behind the middle earth map is very good, but there were some problems with the resources. We can only recommend the in-game editor here, with which you can easily procure any raw materials.

You can find all the mods presented in the Steam Workshop for Civilization 5. Otherwise, you can also get them on a website, for example civforum.de. You can find out how to cheat properly in Civilization 5 in our next practical tip.
