Civ 5 Multiplayer With Mods
Civ 5 Multiplayer Mods 2018
A pack of Civilization 5 mods for the multiplayer. The mods pack was only tested when all the original DLC are installed. Don't be stingy - buy them from Firaxis on Steam, support the creator. Put the MPMODSPACK into your Civilization 5 DLC folder.
I recently was discussing how to implement a mod into multiplayer, and was surprised when somebody linked me to a site that provided a free program/service that allows its users to play 'Sid Meier's Civilization V' in MULTIPLAYER WITH MODIFICATIONS (NOTE: only mods compatible with the 'Brave New World' DLC are eligible for utilization). Both custom mods and mods available in the Steam Workshop (providing they're properly installed) are 100%, fully-supported with this client. Basically, how it works is it parses your installed mods in the directory they are located in and creates a list of currently supported mods. And whatever mods are eligible for multiplayer usage can be interchangeably activated and/or deactivated depending on which mods you want to play with. When you click the 'Star CiV button', all of the activated mods will copy their necessary start files to the required directory, while at the same time backing up your original core-files (meaning you can exit out of this client and retain FULL ACCESS to the regular game as if this client never was implemented in the first place), and finally Sid Meier's Civilization V will be executed via Steam. Just a few things to note that should be expected from using this tool:
-In order to utilize this program in multiplayer with fellow players, all of you must have this program and the desired mods downloaded, installed, and selected through the client. -In order to utilize a previously generated save (that was produced ONLY when this tool was utilized) all of the mods that you enabled when first generating the save MUST be enabled through the client for all players, and NO NEW MODS should/can be selected (the save will not work, otherwise!). -Not all mods are compatible with this tool and it is currently in its early stages of development. This means that glitches/bugs SHOULD BE expected and the client is NOT 100% stable -- use at YOUR OWN RISK!
While creating a cache of the font list is slow, it allows the player to use all those nice fonts in subtitles and other on-screen displays. Vlc turn off title display. Sometimes the message just doesn’t go away.
The official website where you can learn more about this service, and download/install it will be included below. Please be aware that I DID NOT create this service, nor am I claiming any responsibility and/or ownership of said service. I am simply a huge fan of the Sid Meier's Civilization franchise, and wanted to share with my fellow 'Civ' enthusiasts a means to implement modifications into their multiplayer gaming experience. If you have any questions, please feel more than free to reach out to me (I've had a decent amount of experience with this tool, however, I may not be able to answer every single question).
