thecrazyscotsman's Omnibus

This Omnibus Mod represents a variety of builds that I've been working on, and is a sequel to my popular Civ V Omnibus Mods and Building Packs. It aims to deliver an enhanced and improved "vanilla-like" experience by focusing on four core goals:

• play map

Civilization VI introduces many new elements that increase the importance of map geography. However, in my opinion, gaming doesn't go far enough. By connecting new areas to terrain and resources, I hope to encourage you to respond to the map better.

• Respect players’ time and investment

As part of my goal to provide a "vanilla-like" experience (only better!), I won't overwhelm you with dozens of new buildings, units, technologies, citizens, policies, and more. If I add something to it because I think it serves a specific purpose, I'm always open to changing what I do if there's a compelling enough reason.

Another part of achieving this is respecting compatibility. I created different "tiers" in this mod so you can choose the one you want to play with, and the "low" tier is compatible with almost every mod.

This mod has something for everyone.

• Give players choices

I don't want you to be railroaded into the same path every game. Part of my goal with this model is to make multiple strategies feasible and give you interesting and compelling choices for which areas to place or which buildings to construct.

As I already mentioned, I also have the option to determine how many features you want to play with. There are some core changes to the standard ruleset that you can mix with almost any other mod. Other rulesets gradually introduce more changes.

I also implemented a UserSettings.sql document in the mod. At this point, the only item you can toggle on/off is Raging Barbarians, but if I find something that's best completely optional, I'll add other functionality to UserSettings.

• Proper balance

A truly interesting Civilization game is a balanced game, since no single strategy is a sure way to victory. My commitment to continually tweaking and updating this mod based on your feedback is essential to achieving all of these goals.

I hope you can help me play and test this modpack to improve the core Civ VI gameplay experience.

ruleset

Civilization VI introduces rulesets, which are a way for modules to provide options within their mods. This mod makes extensive use of this feature by providing three rule sets: Standard, Enhanced, and Complete. To select a ruleset other than standard, you must use Advanced Options when creating a new game and select from the Ruleset drop-down menu.
