GAIA - epic: new goals, new opportunities
GAIA is an epic mod which changes many aspects from Antiquity to Information Age of the game and creates new opportunities. The focus is on additional content such as units and buildings in order to improve the game experience.
It is a further development of my mod with the same name for Civilization III - Conquests, which was published first in 2007.
GAIA is like its predecessor originally in German language, but all important content are also available in English.
The German version of this reference is available on civforum.de.
