As many people ask for recommendations every now and then, I present the list of gameplay mods which I personally use.

Compatibility guaranteed as of: May 13, 2021.

I own all expansions and DLC. While most mods on the list will only require Gathering Storm at most, individual mods may require additional DLC.

Some important notes about the list:

- I consider all mods on the list as good or even great, but that does not mean that mods *not* found on the list aren't. There are many great mods out there not found on this list for various reasons (quite often, that reason is the memory leak bug that prevents me from adding any more mods which add art assets) that have nothing to do with their quality.

- The annoying memory leak bug which limits the amount of modded art assets you can play with isn't super consistent. What works on one system might already be too much on another. I cannot guarantee that this list will work for you. If you get crashes, you'll have to deactivate some stuff.

- I do use some additional personal tweaks which are not published anywhere, but the list should work just fine even without, as those are rather minor changes meant to adjust the difficulty more to my personal playstyle.

- To keep things concise (or rather, as little bloated as possible), I left out UI and purely cosmetic mods.

The list tries to follow a rough structure:

1) General systemic changes of progression, difficulty, and AI (including diplomacy)

2) Natural map elements:
2a) Natural Wonders and Features
2b) Climate
2c) Resources
2d) Mountains
2e) Artifacts

3) Uncivilized: Mods dealing with Scouts, Barbarians, Goodie Huts, and Warfare in general

4) Politics, Religion, and Diplomacy

5) City Management
5a) Districts
5b) Smaller additions and changes
5c) World wonders

6) Changes to Uniques of Civs
