[h1]Sapiens: A Grand Expansion for Civilization V - Requires [url=steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2280231911]Core Mod[/url][/h1]
[quote][b]Sapiens[/b] is a huge overhaul mod that adds content and depth to nearly every aspect of CiV, with far more variety in playstyles and significant changes to the underlying code to improve stability. It aims for a truly epic CiV experience without being too imbalanced, whether you conquer the world or race to the stars. [b][url=https://discord.gg/zvpWpEHrFE]Join the Sapiens Discord[/url][/b]

[quote][h2][b]6[/b] Unique Components for Every Civilization[/h2]
Where the base game gives most civilizations just two, [b]every civilization in Sapiens fields six unique components[/b]: at least [b]two unique units[/b] and [b]two unique buildings[/b], a [b]unique improvement[/b] all its own, and a [b]unique World Wonder that only that civilization can ever build[/b]. Every one is tuned to sharpen the civilization's identity and playstyle, giving each a distinct feel from the first turn to the last.

[quote][h2]Important Installation Instructions and Troubleshooting[/h2]
[b]Windows only:[/b] the Mac and Linux (Aspyr) ports of the game cannot load DLL mods, so the required Core Mod does not work there. On Linux, run the Windows build through Steam Play (Proton).

1) Delete the contents in the following folders:
- [b]Cache[/b]: Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5\cache
- [b]ModUserData[/b]: Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5\ModUserData

2) In the Mods menu, enable [url=steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2280231911]Core Mod[/url], [url=steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2309504487]Sapiens[/url], and any compatible modules together, then start a new game.

3) [b]If you change which mods are enabled, quit the game to desktop and relaunch before starting a new game.[/b] Civilization V cannot reload a DLL mod within a single session, so switching mods and starting a game without restarting is the most common cause of crashes.

[quote][h2]Tune It Without Modding[/h2]
Plain-text files let you retune the game. Open one in any text editor, change a value, save, and start a new game. Every line is commented with what it does and its default.

In the [b]Sapiens[/b] folder: [b]MOD_OPTIONS.sql[/b] turns individual Sapiens features on or off, [b]MAP_SETTINGS.sql[/b] controls how the world generates (terrain bands, features, goody huts, natural wonders), and [b]PLAYABLE_CIVS.sql[/b] includes or excludes civilizations for human players, AI players, or both.

In the [b]Core Mod[/b] folder: [b]CORE_OPTIONS.sql[/b] turns individual Core features on or off, and [b]USER_SETTINGS.sql[/b] holds numeric settings such as animation speed.

A Workshop update replaces these files, so keep a copy of your edits.
