This is, in my opinion, the best mod for Civ IV that exists or has ever existed. A group of my friends have been playing this mod all the way back from Total Realism times and every single update has made the mod even better. Even after 20 years, the mod is still in active development! Thank you Walter and all the other devs for the amazing work and passion that you've put into the mod over the years!

This mod is great almost in everything. The very long support lifespan for this project only gives me a reason to rate this game that high. Modders of the civ4 community, you are awesome! Thank you!
