Civ5 CBP Wikia

## Welcome to the Vox Populi Wikia

Started in 2014, *Vox Populi* (formerly known as the "Community Balance Patch") is a collaborative effort to improve *Civilization V*'s AI and gameplay. It consists of a collection of mods (see below) that are designed to work together seamlessly.

The core of the project, the *Community Patch*, is a DLL-based mod that can be used independently of all other mods in the Project in order to improve your *Civilization V* experience. It does not modify any of the core game's content (such as leaders or buildings), but improves AI performance and addresses a number of bugs that remained after the final *Civilization V* patch.

The *Community Balance Overhaul* (and all other elements of the Project), however, expands and changes the core mechanics of the game, offering an entirely new *Civilization V* experience that feels and plays like an evolution of the series.

## What are the requirements?

* Civilization V (Version 1.0.3.279)
* Gods and Kings Expansion
* Brave New World Expansion
* All Leader DLC
* Ancient Wonders DLC
* Windows 7-10

Download components of *Vox Populi*, including the Automatic Installer, here. A changelog of the complete package can be seen here.

(If you don't have Gods and Kings and are not willing to buy it, this post may help. You can get the mod to basically work with only Brave New World and no other DLC, although some units may look weird and running it this way is not officially supported.)

## What is it? What is included?

### Community Patch

* The single largest AI, bugfix and API DLL for *Civilization V*.
* Is the base DLL for most *Civilization 5* mods that require a DLL.
* Contains bugfixes, AI improvements, and API enhancements for modders.
* No balance changes, and minimal gameplay changes are included.
* New DLL tables, functions and LUA events are included, however they are not used by the mod.
* Created by the Community Patch Project Team.

### Community Balance Overhaul

This mod completely overhauls the game by rebalancing or creating new:

* Policies
* Leaders
* Buildings
* Wonders
* Units
* AI Difficulty
* ... and much more!

Includes new systems and concepts, such as Monopolies, Corporations, and Events!

Created by the Community Patch Project Team.

### City-State Diplomacy Mod by Gazebo

Adds new or different ways to interact with City States:

* Diplomatic Units
* United Nations

* City State Quests
* ... and more!

### Civ 4 Diplomacy Features by Putmalk

### More Luxuries by Barathor

Enhances gameplay as part of the CBO experience. Includes additional luxuries, with custom graphics and artwork, that expand the diversity of available resources in the game.

### CBO - Compatibility Mod (EUI Version)

This mod makes the CBO and all mods listed after it (above) compatible. Use this version if you have installed the CBO version of EUI.

### CBO - Compatibility Mod (No-EUI Version)

This mod makes the CBO and all mods listed after it (above) compatible. Use this version if you are *not* using the CBO version of EUI.

### Enhanced User Interface

Enhanced User Interface offers a complete rework of *Civilization V*'s user interface. This mod is not required by Vox Populi but most users prefer it. It is included with the Automatic Installer, but will have to be installed manually if you wish to use it with just the Community Patch. Please note that your decision to use (or not use) EUI changes what Project files you should install, and may include additional steps (such as the deletion of lua files).
