*RECENTLY UPDATED*
Play as Gabe Newell leading the PC Master Race. Construct unique districts like the Development Studio, command the Ascendants recon unit, and create the Half Life 3 game (luxury resource).
Supports YnAMP TSL for Largest Earth, Giant Earth, and Greatest Earth Map. The Master Race will start in Bellevue, Washington.
Supports all game languages, although for most the text is still in English. Please tell me if you want to help localize the mod text for languages other than English.
Current translations: Japanese (crude Google Translate)
This mod is based off Monk Preston's similar mod for Civ 5. This civilization is MASSIVELY OP.
There are three versions of this mod. The other two are posted on the Steam Workshop and Civ Fanatics sites.
Balanced (non-OP) Version - Balanced PC Master Race
OP (but not massively OP) Version - Venerable PC Master Race
Changelog:
Version 11:
- - Japan's music should now play when you play as the PC Master Race. See the discussion on how to change the civ music.
- Added a poorly done Japanese Translation for the mod using Google Translate.
- All other languages besides English should now display the mod text (Mod text is still in English though, except for Japanese).
- Japan's music should now play when you are playing against Gabe and enter his leader screen.
- Fixed Removable Districts Icons (If YOU are playing as the PC Master Race, I no longer recommend having the Removable Districts mod enabled).
- Lowered increased cost over time for district removal projects (to match that of the Removable Districts mod).
- Re-added Spaceport to list of districts able to be removed (the project will show up twice if you have Removable Districts enabled).
Version 10:
- Fixed an issue where icons would not display properly if the Removable Districts mod was also enabled.
Version 9:
- Dramatically reduced the project costs for Designing and Developing Half Life 3.
- Reduced Design Studio Great Person points per turn to 10 for artist, writer, and musician to reduce great work spam and slow a cultural victory.

Gabe Newell (Traits - PC Gaming Visionary / Steam Platform) :
Gaben inspires and unites his staff and his gamer subjects: Master Race unique districts receive +10 to their respective yields for each adjacent district, and each city can build 3 additional districts beyond the population limit. +1 Wild card policy slot in any government (Please remember that you can place any card, not just the purple cards, in the wild card slots) from his cooperation with the PC gaming community. / The Steam platform allows gamers to find new games, find one another, communicate, and provide game feedback on forums. Total yields per citizen for all districts increased to 50, and all district costs halved.
PC Master Race (Traits - Customization / 60 FPS and 4K):
The console peasants cower in the face of the power wielded by the Glorious PC Master Race that allows them to customize before each battle: +25 combat strength against barbarians and +200% XP gains for all units. / The sheer superiority of PC gaming compared to consoles directly visible in the resolution and framerates attracts the best game developers and game designers. Great person points from all districts increased to 25 (except the Design Studio/Theater, which provides 10 gpp for artist, writer, and musician.)
Unique Building - Gaming Shrine
(no new building model):
Replaces Monument. +10 food per tile worked by this city. Provides +25 Production, Science, Gold, Faith, and Culture to its city. Online Cloud storage allows for the storage of 45 Great Works, 10 artifacts, and 5 relics.
Unique Unit - Ascendants
(uses a combination of existing unit models):
Atomic Era melee recon unit with 100 combat strength with 4 tile base sight and 5 movement. Replaces the Ranger unit and costs more to build. Ignores zone of control. Requires Computers.
Unique Districts
(no new models or buildings yet):
- Development Studio (replaces Industrial Zone): This is where all the interns and grunts do all the hard work of Development for Applications, Systems, Web, Embedded Systems, and Test Automation.
- Accounting Department (replaces Commercial Hub): This is where all the sales, marketing, and accounting occurs for the corporation.
- Research Facility (replaces Campus): This is where all the research and development for new game physics, game engines, and game concepts occurs. If you want to make a great game about portals, you have to test portal physics somewhere!
- Design Studio (replaces Theater Square): This is where artists and graphic designers create 2D and 3D artwork and models for games, and where the writers and musicians create stories and soundtracks.
Awards 25 envoys when completed.
- Convention Center (replaces Holy Site): This is where fans can come to interact, possibly cosplay, play new and current games on the best equipment, meet the developers and staff, and just get free stuff.
- Employee Lounge (replaces Entertainment District): This is where all the employees can go to relax, chat, and buy and eat food in this enormous space with tons of plants.
Provides 25 amenities from entertainment.
- Legal Department (replaces Encampment): This is where all the company lawyers can work to undermine, attack, and sue other companies. The company also needs to be defended from similar attacks as well.
- Office Complex (replaces Neighborhood): The company needs more office space to ensure the continued growth and dominance of the PC Master Race.
Provides +25 housing regardless of appeal, and available earlier with the Guilds Civic.
- Glorious Port (replaces Harbor): This allows the company to ship newly developed games all around the world.
The Glorious Port allows for many more cargo ships to be dealt with at once, providing +2 rather than +1 trade route capacity, regardless of whether or not the city has an Accounting Department. The Glorious Port also enables Deep Sea Mining, providing +10 production for all coast and ocean tiles worked by this city.
- Pumping System (replaces Aqueduct): New advanced technology allows pumping freshwater directly from very deep underground, allowing it to be built anywhere and then pumped to the city center. This supremely fresh water has been extremely well-filtered by the soil and is always cold. Only Gordan Freeman is capable of navigating this piping system.
Provides +30 Housing regardless of river/lake access. Requires Steam Power.
- Portal Network Node (replaces Aerodrome): A vast place for using portals to trade and send the new games all over the world. People can also use to portals to travel to other portal gates. The portals and their power sources must be kept underground for safety and defense. The open land above is used to build and store aircraft to defend the node and provide backup transportation.
Provides 10 amenities.
