So I haven't touched Civ 5 since 2014. I have only been playing Civ 6 these last few years. I wanted to give Civ 5 a real indepth go again, but my question is, what are some good 'fun' mods? I know Vox Populi is a big one, but other than that, I don't know any other large mods.

Or do you think I should play the game without mods for a while to get back into it? I have only played Civ 5 for a bit over 90 hours, so I'm not hardcore into it

    Played a lot with friends back in the day - I swear every game saw a scramble to get dibs on Korea & Babylon before they got soft banned in my group.

    But can confirm, very fun with a group even without any mods.

      We do a draft with normal exclusions https://www.randomciv.com/ so everybody gets to pick from 3 (except the banned ones). Adds a bit more variety but not as wild as random pick.

        How many players do you usally play with ? What difficulty if you play with A.I ? You arent looking for new players are you ? Mind you im probably to bad skillwise since I havent played since 2014 and Im also kinda busy with other stuff atm....

          There are 4 of us. We always play on immortal with a few ai. Usually Terra map. Probably not looking for new players but maybe not wholly opposed. We usually play Friday and/or Saturday starting 9pm or so (pacific), depending on the game and whatever going until 2 or 3. So never actually finishing the game except a few times a year we'll do the same but in person LAN party style. Then we can usually start before 6pm and play until 4am or so and actually finish. My steam handle is same as lemmy if you want to join sometime.

            Yeah either way I keep it in the back of my head but I doubt I can do immortal atm since I havent played CIV 5 in 10 years. If I "really" enjoy my time with CIV5 I might contact you about civ 5. Is it cool if I add you on steam ? Will send my steam name through a direct message.
