Ethnic Diversity

**Ethnic Diversity for Civilization V** v.29 Beta

## Description

Over 1000 new unit models for diversity, with no change to gameplay.

To get support, visit the CivFanatics forum thread [1].

See the tables below to get a good idea of the coverage, however the first tab of the newunits.xlsm [2] spreadsheet is always up to date, with more info, and is [arguably] easier to read.

## Installation

- Important : Delete previous version of the mod when updating, or the VFS may cause bugs.

From CFC:
1. Download the .civ5mod file to your mod folder (..\My Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5\MODS).
2. Launch Civ5, go to the MODS menu, and it should be extracted automatically.
3. Find the "R.E.D. Modpack" line and activate the mod.
4. Click "NEXT", then "SINGLE PLAYER," and set up your new game.
5. When restoring from save, you must use the MODS menu, click NEXT, and then LOAD GAME.

From Steam Workshop:
1. Click "+ Subscribe" and the mod should automatically download and extract itself.
2. Go to step #3 above.

Fix for fighter propeller and archer arrow positions (optional) :
- copy civ5artdefines\_viseffects.xml file from the "..\My Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5\MODS\R.E.D. Modpack (v xx)\copy to Assets" folder to the "..\Steam\steamapps\common\sid meier's civilization v\Assets\" folder

## Compatibility
