Civilization V Now Supported By Steam Workshop

Posted on Sunday, June 17 @ 21:32:39 Eastern by Jonathan_Leack

This just in: Steam Workshop is expanding and Civilization V is its latest addition.

You're probably wondering what in the world that is, and I'm about to blow your mind. Steam Workshop is a platform for creating, sharing, and downloading modded content for a variety of games. Think of it as a a streamlined mod hub where downloading and installing mods for your favorite games is easier than ever before.

If you're into creating content, an SDK is readily available through Valve's website which provides the powerful tools needed to realize your imagination.  In Civilization V's case there are map packs, scenarios, and assets that add some free new fan-made content to the game. There are already dozens of mods available including a Middle Earth Map Pack for Lord of the Rings fans, and an ingame editor for those looking to toy—or cheat—around.

Currently the only games supported by Steam Workshop are DOTA 2, Civilization V, Dungeons of Dredmor, Naval War, Portal 2, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, and Team Fortress 2. However, many more will be added soon.

    While i'm not super keen on the expansions content, the fact that it'll revitalize interest in the game is of great interest to me. The best modders from the previous games have basically avoided CIV 5 because its harder to mod than CIV4, I really hope at least some of them come around this time. From what I've read, the SDK isn't really complete, and the WIKI isn't complete. Not to be an advertiser, but if anybody reading this is interested in modding, you should go to CivFanatics and immerse yourself in their modding community, because they have a LOT of helpful people and info in their forums.

    Civilization V is definitely more difficult to mod for but things will get easier over time as people learn the new system. CivFanatics has an outstanding forum that I visit from time-to-time so I agree with you there.

    Just an FYI, our Civilization V: Gods & Kings review will be published tomorrow. I played the heck out of it this weekend.

    I was huge into making mods back for AoE2, AoM, and Neverwinter Nights. This is great news, probably get my hands dirty in Civ5 soon.
