My mod "Mix & Match: Constructor"
Hey Reddit, I made my own mod. I made it because I’ve always wanted to mix and match units, civilizations, and traits to create cool combos—or for times when I really liked a specific unit, but wasn’t a fan of the leader or civ it was tied to—especially since I couldn’t find any mod that did what I had in mind while searching.
So here’s my mod. The idea is that you can pick your bonuses one by one, just like a regular civ has them for balance. But fair warning: I haven’t really balanced any of the combinations. If you play with other balance mods, that should work fine, since I tried to make this as compatible with other mods as possible. There’s also an option to roll random abilities for yourself or the AI, and it even works in multiplayer, but one caveat: I haven’t fully tested the mod online yet because I didn’t get the chance. Also, I won’t lie—I used AI to help write the mod descriptions for the upload pages, as well as some of the code, because doing all of this on my own turned out to be way too difficult.
Anyway, if you like the idea and want to try the mod out, you can get it on Steam, Nexus Mods, CivFanatics, and GitHub. If you run into any bugs or want me to add something, please leave a comment under this post or on the mod pages!
