Grand Eras (Project 6T Core)

Grand Eras: A Civ VI Overhaul for Deeper Progression

For players of Sid Meier’s Civilization VI seeking a more robust and engaging experience, the Grand Eras mod emerges as a pivotal addition. Developed as the core component of the ambitious Project 6T, this modification fundamentally reshapes the game’s technological and civic advancement, meticulously designed to integrate seamlessly with other community content.

Expanding the Timeline

Grand Eras introduces a brand-new era, the Post-Classical, strategically placed between the Classical and Medieval periods. This expansion extends the crucial pre-modern stages of the game, allowing for a more prolonged and in-depth exploration of early civilization development. With this new era and adjustments to existing ones, players will find a more satisfying pace that caters to a broader spectrum of player preferences.

Core Features and Enhancements

This mod is more than just an era extension; it’s a comprehensive reimagining of the progression systems. Key features include:

• New Post-Classical Era: Significantly extends the early and mid-game, providing more time to engage with foundational technologies and civics.
• Expanded Tech and Civic Trees: Introduces 25 new technologies and 11 new civics, with each era featuring a more balanced distribution of advancements.
• Thoughtful Integration of Modded Content: New units, buildings, and wonders from other mods are intelligently placed within the tech and civic trees, ensuring a cohesive and thematic progression.
• Redesigned Tree UI: Features an adjusted user interface for improved clarity and readability, complete with new, distinct icons for various unlocks and yield upgrades, and cleaner sorting even with extensive modded content.
• New Era Start Options: Advanced starting points are now available for both the Post-Classical and Future Eras, offering diverse strategic beginnings.
• Modified Progression: Features like stone-paved roads and industrial building styles now persist for longer, delaying the advent of asphalt and skyscrapers to later eras for a more gradual industrial transition.

A Foundation for Modding

Grand Eras is built with mod compatibility at its heart. It aims to provide a structured framework that allows other content creators to plug their additions into the game’s progression systems with greater ease. While it requires the Gathering Storm expansion and is incompatible with mods that alter the tech/civics trees or their UI, it’s designed to work harmoniously with a wide array of other modifications, making it a foundational piece for a significantly enhanced Civilization VI experience.
