Civilization 6 is considered by some to be one of the best strategy games of all time. However, Civilization 5 gave it a run for its money, and some still consider the 2010 title the best in the series. Now, modders have brought Civilization 6 closer to its predecessor by restoring maps from the previous game.
The Civilization 5 Scenario Pack brings eight classic maps from Civ 5 into the modern era. The maps included in the mod are British Isles, Eastern United States, Eurasia, Europe, Fertile Crescent, Mediterranean, Northeast Asia, and South Pacific. Each comes from one of Civilization 5’s historical scenarios, which depicted events such as the American Civil War, the Fall of Rome, and Japan’s 1592 invasion of Korea. The mod page also notes the maps have been “lightly updated” to include features from Civilization 4. Modder Crumblus Crisp created the mod using the Yet (not) Another Bit Map Converter. It is available for download from the Steam Workshop.
This is not the only Steam mod bringing Civ 5 into Civilization 6. Another recent mod reintroduced the bonus players receive for being the first to circumnavigate the globe. Civilization 6 acknowledges circumnavigation in the Rise and Fall DLC. However, the only reward is a few extra points of progress toward entering a Golden Age. The tragically-misspelled First to Circumnagivate mod by Sailor Cat grants an additional +1 movement bonus to all ships after completing a circumnavigation. This was a feature of Civilization 5 that, for whatever reason, never made it into the sequel.
Even Firaxis may be looking to the past for the future of Civilization 6. The new Barbarian Clans game mode adds more interactions between playable civilization and barbarians. This includes dividing them into multiple clans with unique traits and behaviors. This is not dissimilar to the barbarian leaders from Civilization Revolution. It also allows them to settle and establish new city-states, similar to a popular Civ 4 mod.
The Barbarian Clans mode is more in depth than either of those, adding a much more diverse range of interactions. Still, between mods and DLC, Civilization 6 may be on its way to becoming the ultimate, comprehensive Civilization experience.
Perhaps it’s only a matter of time before someone recreates the old Rhyse of Civilization mods for Civ 3 and Civ 4. Those mods attempted to create a complete historical simulation, with new civilizations rising and old ones fracturing throughout the game. That may be wishful thinking, but either way, Civilization 6 fans have plenty of new and restored content to keep them occupied.
Civilization 6 is available on Linux, Mobile, PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
