Modding (Civ5)

Modding, short for modifying, refers to taking the game and changing aspects of it to better suit one's own tastes. Civilization V provides exceptionally good modding facilities. Units and such have their parameters defined in XML files and there is lots of the actual gameplay logic in the lua files. The developers also offer free tools, downloadable via Steam, for modding.
Making use of the Steam Workshop is the easiest way for players to mod their games.
