Different mods for Civilization 6

As with other games, Civilization 6 has a variety of different mods. The categories range from graphic variations to new races. But first let's take a look at which of these categories are the most popular.

• It starts with the graphic mods. As the name suggests, these change the graphics of the game. For example, the textures are changed. Precisely because Civilization 6 has long been criticized for having lost the realistic appearance of the previous parts and has become too cartoonistic.
• Then there are the map mods that change the maps. Whether it is a more detailed map or a world map based on ours, there is something for everyone.
• Another very popular area is the category of gameplay mods. Here new functions are added, which should increase the fun again.
