I can’t listen to a podcast or video essays (also post your fav video essays too) and I need something stimulating to focus on but not so much focus as to not be able to comprehend the podcast

        Epithet - Dynamic Leader Titles - SeelingCat
        Cohort - Dynamic Unit Names - SeelingCat
        

        I really really like the overhaul that is Strudeler’s CIV VI deluxe, and enjoy the Dynamic city/leader/unit names from SeelingCat. I run civ on a shite integrated graphics laptop and have to download the mods manually to make sure updates don’t fuck me over b/c I enjoy playing weeks-long ultramarathon games solo with the Extended Eras Mod. I can list some added civs, wonders, nat wonders, and secret societies too, but browse the workshop and find some creators you like, and they should be great.

        Just realized that I made this list from an old list, here are a few other essentials:

        Railroads by Traders
        Mountain Tunnels at Steam Power
        Top Panel Extension
        Customization VI
        Coexistence of Districts and Resources (With all resource can be harvest)
        Actual Sparse Resources
        Radial Measuring Tool
        Nut9931's Hellraiser Difficulty MOD
        Social Mechanics's Happiness Rework
        What Did I Promise?
        Notification Log
        Great Rivers Regional Identities
        More Beneficial Random Events
        Phantagonist's Chinese Dynasty Uniques
        Annex City-States
        Phantagonist's Chinese City Names
        Phantagonist's City-States - Silk Road and Beyond
        Second Unique Infrastructure
        Sukritact's Urban Identities
        Savannah
        C&P: Domestic Trade Bonuses
        C&P: Naval Trade Protection
        Triple Natural Wonders
        Workable 4th Ring
        Kalendae - Calendar Flavor Mod
        City states that prohibit expansion
        Mixed Farms
        Barbarians Actually Get No Free Techs
        City Banner Refresh Fix
        Religion++
        More (or Less) Religions
        YD's Better Civil Engineering
        Guaranteed Oasis
        Set individual variables [[NB I don't use this one yet but it looks promising]]
        National Infrastructure Projects
        No first messenger of city state
        EPSTweak for Policies - No removal, no buffs
        Mistake Era(Future Era Update) Ver 0.95
        Ancient Era Diplomatic Policies
        Enable Wonders On Mountains
        Science/Culture Overflow Bug Fix
        Sort Tech and Civic Unlocks
        Terrain and Feature Adjacent Yields V 0.9
        Phantagonist's Slavery and Emancipation
        Phantagonist's Three Kingdoms Leader Pack
        Tech Civic Progress Plus
        

        From these, workable 4th ring is probably the biggest change, along with city states prohibit expansion. I have supplanted the desert woods with the savannah mod for better flavoring, and really like all phantagonist’s mods, especially the china expansions. Top panel expansion is a great UI mod.

        Overall it’s lots of cheese but I think they’re fun :) happy to answer any questions

          thanks, comrade, that’s a lot of mods!

          Looks like this adds in a lot of nuance that isn’t in the vanilla game. I have enjoyed the vanilla version and never used mods . i should have a bit more time in 2025 and plan to play a bit more civ vi . I’ll give some of these mods a whirl

          if i were to start with one or two mods, which of your list give the most oomf to a game? (If it helps, I don’t always have time for super long games .)
