In prior versions of Civilization, it was possible to rename my civilization's cities (though it was, admittedly, difficult to find in Civ V).

In Civilization VI, however, I've looked through every city management panel I can see, and can't find any sort of edit link or button for the city name. I've even tried right-clicking and double-clicking anywhere I see a city name, with no success.

Is there a way to customize my city names in Civ VI, and if so, how do I do it?

City Renaming has been added with the Fall 2016 update:

Open the city details pane (the highlighted page icon on the panel) and click on the city name in the top left corner of the screen

Apparently it's an issue they'll fix in an upcoming patch.

You can edit the city names txt in the assets folder.

Firaxis’ latest bite at the macro-scale building turn-based 4X ’em up cherry has hardly been with us two weeks, yet has already inspired umpteen illustrious tales of mighty empires, astute observations and bittersweet victory conditions here at RPS.

Wot did strategy aficionado Adam think? He loved it, of course, but there’s always room for improvement – and when a game is made up of quite so many simultaneously moving parts, mods tend to help make that so. Official support hasn’t quite breached the shores of Sid Meier’s Civilization 6 [official site], however that’s hardly stopped keen modders from getting their hands dirty in the meantime. We’ll add to this list down the line, but here’s the best Civ 6 mods available right now.

Civ 6 Custom Civs Mod

How to install Civilization 6 mods

Most games which don’t offer official modding support rely on Nexus Mods to house their tweaks and tinkerings. At the moment, Civ 6’s presence on Nexus is pretty nonexistent and much of its mods are instead found on the CivFanatics forum. Installation is pretty straightforward, though.

First, you’ll want to create a Mods folder in your Civilization 6 user directory (DocumentsMy GamesSid Meier’s Civilization VI), before extracting the mods you fancy to subfolders within the main one. As Adam explored previously, Civ 6 also lets you mess around with its XML and Lua scripts manually – which means you can make direct changes to files, should that be something you’re interested in. This is done by right clicking on the game via your Steam library, selecting Properties, then Local Files, then Browse Local Files. From there, simply select the file you want to muck around with, but note it’s probably worth saving a copy beforehand.

NB – Some of the mods listed here come with their own disclaimers which should be read and understood prior to installation. Details of such can be found on each mod’s page.

Moar Units

By deliverator

Right, boring clerical stuff out of the road, let’s conquer the world. And what better way to do so than by bolstering your armies with more soldiers dying to, um, die for the cause. The more, the merrier and all that.

Deliverator’s Moar Units introduces both Rifleman and Cuirassier units – which lets Musketman units upgrade to Rifleman and Rifleman upgrade to Infantry; and sees Knight units upgrade to Cuirassier and Cuirassier upgrade to Tank, respectively. The mod also adds 12 new Unique Units by way of (deep breath): the American Minutemen, Arabian Camel Archer, Chinese Cho-Ko-Nu, German Hussar, Greek Hetairoi (Companion Cavalry), Spanish Jinete, Roman Equite, Russian Druzhina Cavalry, Norwegian Hirdmen, English Longbowmen and Mughal Sowar for India, and Sumerian Phalanx.

Each of these is treated to its own bonuses and perks – Minuteman units, for example, gain +5 Combat Strength when fighting in or adjacent to their home territory; while the Druzhina Cavalry gain +4 Combat Strength when up against melee units – the full list of which can be located on the mod’s page. Creator deliverator notes that the mod is “very alpha and untested” at the moment and therefore is “obviously likely to be a bit unbalanced.”

Smoother difficulty

By RushSecond

As a means of upping its challenge in harder difficulties, Civ 6’s base game adorns its AI with bonuses and extra units. As a result, enemies do become harder to contend with, but, in my experience at least, the scales tip so far that overcoming the odds in the game’s earliest stages becomes almost impossible.

Enter RushSecond’s Smoother difficulty mod which “smooths the curve of the AI”, meaning foes start with the same means as you do, however get better constant bonuses to Culture, Production, Science and Gold. In turn, this allows them to keep up the pace with tech and production and the likes throughout the entirety of the game – offering a greater threat without ever taking the piss.

Yet (not) Another Map Pack

By Gedemon

Civ 6 Custom Civs 1

But what if bigger is better? Those of you familiar with series forerunner Civilization 5 might recall creator Gedemon’s Yet (not) Another Earth Maps Pack which introduced planet Earth to the 4X strategy game varying sizes. This ‘un does the same by adding an ‘Enormous’ map size at 128×80; a ‘Giant’ map size at 180×94; and a ‘Ludicrous’ map size at 230×115. Sheesh.

Across all sizes, a staggering 50+ civs can be set and while the mod is in its ‘alpha 3’ state at the moment, Gedemon has put the former setting through 500 turns in autoplay with 32 civs without issue. He or she does lead with the following warning, though:

“The giant map is already way above the size of the huge map, it may or may not load on your PC (and will take some time to do so), the Ludicrous map is the max map size before the game refuse to load, and will take more than 4-5 minutes to load (or crash). I’d suggest to lower the textures size in the video option, the game use almost all the 6GB of VRAM of my GPU.”

It’s also worth noting that by turn 240, the average turn time was two minutes, while at turn 470 that jumped to four minutes.

PhotoKinetic Westeros

By 12@!n

Perhaps the most divisive thing about Civilization 6 is its vibrant cartoon-like aesthetic. While Adam feels it’s a “treat to look at”, a sizeable chunk of players don’t share his view – not least modder 12@!n. “I wasn’t too smitten with the ultra vibrant colors of Civ VI, and this corrects that,” they say. “I modeled it after the Game of Thrones opening sequence.”

By virtue of a number of recalibrations, adjustments, enablements and disablements – not least the addition of a togglable heavy depth of field for a tilt-shift effect – PhotoKinetic Westeros is the end result and, hate or love the original look, it’s really quite impressive. Shader mods are a funny thing because they’re generally applied to games which already look pretty – like The Witcher 3s and GTA 5s of this world. Their outcome, then, is largely open to interpretation and is often boils down to personal preference. This mod is no different, yet there’s no arguing it completely transforms the base game to something almost unrecognisable to its source material.

PhotoKinetic Westeros is perhaps the most difficult to install on this list, however step-by-step instructions are duly provided by its creator.

Historicty++ and Civlopedia On Main Menu

By sukritact and Remgrandt respectively

One for all you history buffs out there who just cannot stand the liberties Firaxis have taken with historical accuracy. “So after having dealt with two fruitless attempts to get Firaxis to do something about historical accuracy in the game. I’ve finally just decided to make a mod for it,” says the creator of Historicity++, a mod from sukritact that amends the “numerous” historical oversights in the game’s text he or she has stumbled upon.

“Notable changes include fixing the Kongolese UU to an attested Central African name and correcting ‘Sumeria’ to ‘Sumer’ as is more commonly used in most circles,” the creator continues. “Also, MALAYSIA IS NOT KNOWN FOR ITS WATS. This mod will be continually updated as errors arise or are discovered.”

Civlopedia On Main Menu, on the other hand, does exactly what you might expect: it plops Civ 6’s extensive and informative encyclopedia as is into the main menu, where you can then access the game’s background history before kicking a ball. Remember to give sukritact a nudge if you spot any discrepancies!
