There's an option in Civilization 5 to start a new game on an Earth map, but in Civilization 6 there's no such thing. And there's no Steam Workshop support yet either. So what can you do?
Fortunately, heroes don't always wear capes. Civ Fanatics modder Gedemon has come to the rescue with an Earth map for Civilization 6 that you can download and play now.
But - hold your horses - there's something you should know before you do. It's massive. It's bloody massive. It even has its own bespoke Ludicrous map size (230x115) that can host more than 50 cilivizations! And being so bloody massive means it may make a mess of your computer.
'Warning: 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 lowering the texture size in the video option - the game used almost all the 6GB of VRAM of my GPU,' Gedemon wrote.
The 'YnAMP - Yet (not) Another Maps Pack' is still in alpha state and needs testing, but has successfully run for 500 turns with 32 civilizations on Gedemon's meaty machine (i7 4770K CPU, 16GB RAM, GTX 980 ti GPU). 'But I have no idea of the minimal configuration for this.'

We published our Civilization 6 review yesterday. 'Civ 6 harnesses the series' great strengths and adds wonderful new features of its own in an accessible and compelling entry,' Stace Harman wrote.

Last but not least, we met Sid Meier! Well, I say we - an excited Chris Bratt talked to Sid Meier about 25 years of Civilization last week. 25 years! Goodness gracious me.

The 4X wonderland that is Civilization VI might not have Steam Workshop support enabled just quite yet (hopefully soon), but the mods are already rolling out through other sites from some truly dedicated fans.
While Civ VI features loads of changes and upgrades from the previous entries, there are still some issues that need to be worked out and a handful of elements from previous games that didn't make it into this one. Below we cover the mods currently available to help fix those oversights and round your Civilization VI experience.

Earth Map
If you scroll through the list of available Civ VI maps, you'll notice one is missing: Earth! The closest thing available in the base map selection (before any DLC arrives anway) is the Continents map, but it's not actually the tried and true Earth map fans have come to expect.
Thankfully less than a week from launch, an intrepid modder has already taken care of that for us – but be warned it's a bit buggy at this stage. The ludicrously gigantic map has room for up to 50 civs, but seems to break after around 30 (not to mention all the time spent waiting for 30 civs to take their turns after yours).
This modded map pack itself will sadly break your computer if you're running a lower end potato, as the creator explains:
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.
I'm not releasing this mod blindly, the Ludicrous size has been tested on a 500 turns game in autoplay with 32 civs without crash on my computer (CPU : i7 4770K, RAM: 16GB, GPU : GTX 980 ti), but I have no idea of the minimal configuration for this.
If you think your rig can handle it, download now and get on conquering all of Earth's civilizations via science, culture, or domination!

Fan Improvements Patch
A host of changes and tweaks are made with this mod across absolutely everything Civilization VI has to offer: military, tech, civics, wonders, housing, governments, districts, and policies all get an overhaul.
The basic idea here is to make most things accrue faster for you in the early game and then slow down in the mid to late game for a more balanced experience, while offering drastically different choices on government policies.
If you find yourself never actually changing the policies or don't care for the speed of the game or how quickly you work through the various trees, try giving this update a shot.
Daughter Of Seth
Want to try out all the civs different unique units / abilities at once, or are you consistently getting annihilated in the early game? This mod gives essentially everything from each civ all to Egypt at the start of the game - yep, it's basically a cheat mod for single player!
Turn Cleopatra into a real goddess!
Coming Soon!
Undoubtedly there are going to be a ton more mods to arrive in the coming weeks and months, adding in everything we've come to expect from the excellent Civilization modding community: more modern units, new map types, and even total conversions adding in new civs from other game series.
Currently these are the only reliable ones actually available at launch. Let us know if you try these out and be sure to recommend us more Civ VI mods in the comments when you find them!
Civilization 6 modding tools and Steam Workshop support finally came along with the Australian Summer update, so there’s lots of great modding to come. Strategy games have been a staple since the beginning of PC gaming, along with FPS and RPGs. Even though the real-time strategy games usually saw the most attention from gamers, turn-based games always managed to hold their space and one of the biggest franchises that have been consistently doing that is the Civilization series.
Civilization games have always held a special place in my heart. Be it seeing your country rise through centuries or different victory conditions, it always has been one of the most addicting experiences. The doom of “Just one more turn” extended a 2-hour gaming session into an 8-hour one and it never comes close to being boring. The latest addition to the series, Civilization 6 did just that, but of course, not without its flaws. But luckily, with the Australian Summer update, the game’s modding tools and Steam Workshop support was finally given to us and we are starting to see the fruits of this.

7. Smoother Difficulty
In the native game, harder difficulties give AI Civilizations insane bonuses in the early game and it does not always make for a fair, fun time. This mod removes those bonuses and instead gives AI Civs constant bonuses so they can keep up with tech and production throughout the entire game.

This partial conversion mod changes hundreds of rules of the original game’s and adds a lot of additional ones. The change list is too long to write here, but they include faster border expansion, faster movement and battles, new policies and stronger governments.

9. AI+
This mod improves one of the biggest faults of Civilization 6, the AI. There are improvements in many behaviors but the most notable one is the AIs ability to wage aggressive wars. Also, leaders have more distinct personality styles that match their abilities/cultures.

10. Quick Start
A mod that we need for every game, Quick Start completely skips all the 2K, FIRAXIS and AMD logos. This mod takes you straight to the main menu. It is exceptionally good for Civilizations 6 since it takes extra long to get to the main menu.

13. Religion Expanded
This huge religion mod raises the founded-religions-per-game cap to 16 on a Huge map and adds more than 40 new beliefs, and adds new religious buildings. The increased number of religions and the increased cap means each game will be more different and dynamic rather than seeing the major religions dominate every time.
Download here.
From simple resource tweaks, AI improvements and unit additions to complete rule overhauls and huge map packs, the Steam workshop and the foul play the Civilization 6 are brimming with quality mods. If you want to increase the paly time of an already endless game, these best civ 6 mods on steam (especially when combined) can prolong and improve your experience drastically.
