There's an optional soundtrack for Faerun, drawn from Baldur's Gate II music. Along with Paradox, they're the company most likely to bring me back to a game months after release with paid content, building 'big box' type expansions that add depth rather than length to their games. It's surprising how quickly I've started to think of the new content as part of the game, seamlessly integrated, just as with Enemy Within. Fall from Heaven is one other popular Civilization IV mod, this time putting a dark. Even with all the enjoyable thematic content though (NECROMANCERS), I did find myself missing Brave New World's features. My favourite part is the selection of Civs though, with 25 representing several groups of the major races.įaerun is available through the Steam Workshop and is well worth a look. Religions are now Deity Cults, policies are schools of magic and random events include rampaging dragons and other beasties. The Faerun mod requires the Gods and Kings DLC and will disable Brave New World when used, and it adds just about everything you could want from a Dungeons and Dragons themed Civ game. That all changed this weekend, when a post on PC Gamer drew my attention to the work of modder framedarchitecture, who has created several historical scenarios and a huge Forgotten Realms total conversion. I spent a lot of time playing Civ IV mods, particularly the splendid Fall From Heaven, but I've only tried a couple of alterations to Firaxis' most recent entry in the series, and don't think I've downloaded a single one since installing the two excellent expansions to the base game.
