Revolutionize Your Civilization VI Start with the “Start by Wonders” Mod

Tired of the same old starting positions in Sid Meier’s Civilization VI? Do you dream of beginning your empire’s journey with the immediate advantage and strategic depth offered by the game’s magnificent Wonders? The “Start by Wonders” mod is here to transform your early game experience, placing you right at the heart of awe-inspiring constructions from your very first turn.

A New Genesis for Your Empire

This innovative mod reimagines the game’s map generation to ensure players begin their civilization’s story adjacent to a chosen Natural Wonder. No longer will you be left to the whims of random chance to discover these world-altering locations. Instead, you’ll strategically select which Wonders you wish to see spawn, allowing for a tailored and exciting start to every new campaign. This provides an immediate focus for your early expansion and a powerful incentive for your initial city placement.

Key Features and How to Use Them

Getting started with “Start by Wonders” is simple. Once the mod is enabled, navigate to the advanced settings during game creation. You’ll find a new option labeled “Select Start Wonders.” Here, you can actively choose which Natural Wonders you’d like to be available on the map. After you enter the game, you will be automatically positioned near one of these selected Wonders, offering a unique starting point that influences your initial strategy. AI units that might be too close to these important starting locations will be intelligently repositioned to ensure a fair and engaging experience.

  • Strategic Starting Locations: Begin your game adjacent to a Natural Wonder of your choosing.
  • Player-Driven Wonder Selection: Actively select which Wonders will be available for your starting position.
  • AI Unit Management: AI units near designated start Wonders are automatically adjusted.
  • Enhanced Early Game: Gain immediate strategic advantages and focused expansion opportunities.

Multiplayer Mayhem and Wonder Distribution

The “Start by Wonders” mod also brings a fascinating dynamic to multiplayer. In multiplayer games, each player will be assigned a “Start Wonder” to begin their journey. To ensure the best experience, it’s recommended to select more Wonders than the number of human players. This is because not all selected Wonders are guaranteed to generate due to terrain limitations. If the number of generated Wonders falls below the number of human players, the mod’s core functionality may not engage as expected, making wonder selection crucial for a successful multiplayer start.

Compatibility Notes

Please be aware that “Start by Wonders” modifies the map generator and increases the potential spawn limit for Natural Wonders. While it aims for broad compatibility, it may not work seamlessly with certain other map generation or Natural Wonder-related mods. However, it is designed to be compatible with mods that simply add or modify existing Natural Wonders.
