Spirit of the Law did a video on this. I'm excited to try it, I whipped up a villager-focused civ to test it out, but I can't figure out how to manually install the mod. Someone provided the Windows file path for where I'd need to put the mod files, but the issue is that I'm on Linux running the game through Proton, so the file path is going to be different.

Unfortunately, the original civilizations are replaced. It seems that you can't add additional civilizations .

The only downside of this site is that you are essentially choosing everything from a pre-selection of bonuses, and you can only choose an existing unique unit.

So modding the old fashioned way with Genie Editor is still the way to go for people who are serious about making truly original civs.

Still its impressive that someone managed to make such a simple site that lets people make their own civs very easily. Its really cool they even included the ability to make a custom emblem, and to their credit there are a lot of original ideas for civ bonuses as well as pre-existing ones.

Btw I finished making my Tibetans civ (made using Genie Editor, not the website) if anyone is interested. Just search for "Tibetans Civilisation Mod" on the Mods browser.

Maybe he's going to add some unused scenario editor units at some point .

Does your mod also replace another civilization?

Yes unfortunately. Had to replace the Burmese to make them. Its a data mod though so you just select it in a game lobby so you can still play Burmese as normal if you switch back to the default data set.

I tried to add Indians again but showed Britons again.

I don't think devs would ever allow us to have "free" slots for making new civs using that website without the need to replace them on top of another existing civ.
Combining that with the hundred custom campaigns available for free on the mod section, this would mean no more cheap DLCs being sold that easy.

Yeah you can do that. It's pretty cool. I've done it a couple times. I made a few civilizations based on Infantry, Cavalry, Horse Archers, Economics, Trash, and Siege... giving each the max awesome buffs of everything civilization to make some killer games. It was fun. However, as soon as a new DLC comes around, or the devs make some changes to the civs, the mod is useless and have to make it all over again. And this game does pretty frequent nerfs or changes to the game... so it sucks.
