Vox Populi: A Community Patch Project

​

Newest Version:

June 19th (5.6.19) ​

Introduction:

Started in 2014, Vox Populi is a collaborative effort to improve Civilization V's AI and gameplay. Vox Populi is a collection of mods (see below) that are designed to work together seamlessly. The core of the project, the Community Patch, is a DLL-based mod that can be used independently of all other mods in the Project in order to improve your Civilization V experience. It does not modify any of the core game's content (such as leaders or buildings), but improves AI performance and addresses a number of bugs that remained after the final Civilization V patch. The Community Balance Overhaul (and all other elements of the Project), however, expands and changes the core mechanics of the game, offering an entirely new Civilization V experience that feels and plays like an evolution of the series.

​

Requirements:

Civilization V (.279 version)

Gods and Kings Expansion

Brave New World Expansion

All Leader DLC

Ancient Wonders DLC

Windows 7-10
