Luxury Resource Variety

Uncover Greater Diversity with Luxury Resource Variety for Civilization VI

Tired of the same handful of luxury resources appearing on your Sid Meier’s Civilization VI maps, regardless of size? The Luxury Resource Variety mod injects a much-needed dose of diversity into your game’s world generation, ensuring a richer and more engaging experience. This modification tackles map generation head-on, promising more strategic depth and unique challenges by significantly increasing the number of distinct luxury types you’ll encounter.

More of Everything, Better Exploration

The core of this mod’s appeal lies in its clever alteration of how continents and sea resources are distributed. Historically, the number of unique land luxuries available on a map was directly tied to the map size and its generated continents. For instance, a standard-sized map might only feature a limited selection of land luxuries due to the limited number of continents generated. Luxury Resource Variety breaks this limitation. It manipulates the generation process to create more “continents” per map size, effectively multiplying the potential for varied luxury spawns.

Crucially, this mod does not increase the overall abundance of luxury tiles; that remains controlled by your in-game settings. Instead, it focuses purely on the *variety* of luxuries present, meaning you’ll find more different kinds of resources across the map, rather than just more instances of the same ones. This encourages broader exploration and a greater need to engage in trade and diplomacy to secure a wide array of amenities for your citizens.

Key Features and Benefits

This mod offers several compelling advantages for players seeking a more dynamic Civilization VI experience:

* **Increased Luxury Type Count:** Experience a significantly higher number of unique luxury resources on every map size, from Duel to Huge.
* **Enhanced Sea Resource Presence:** Guarantees that all available sea luxury resources will spawn on each map, adding new strategic considerations for coastal empires.
* **More Interesting Map Generation:** Each game feels less predictable, with unique resource distributions that challenge your established playstyles.
* **Deeper Strategic Play:** The expanded variety of luxuries necessitates more thoughtful city placement, trade route management, and diplomatic maneuvering.

Essential Requirements and Compatibility

To fully enjoy the benefits of Luxury Resource Variety, you will need the Gathering Storm expansion. Furthermore, this mod requires the installation of either the Resourceful 2 mod, or the combined power of Sukritact’s Resources and Civitas Resources. These prerequisites ensure that the game has a sufficient pool of luxury resource types to draw from. The mod is designed for excellent compatibility, working seamlessly with map script mods, other map size modifications, and various resource-enhancing mods, including Resourceful 2 and Truly Abundant Resources.
