Warcraft and Civilisation may contain two completely different game worlds with distinct game mechanics, but modder Bamington’s Civilizations of Warcraft mod pack for Civ V — a huge project designed to add as much from the Warcraft universe as possible — fits like a glove.
Factions, which were introduced in Warcraft III and WoW, are now civilisations and city-states. Dungeons and raids are natural wonders, constructed wonders or buildings. Religions, resources and the appropriate units have been converted accordingly as well — as you can see below.
Bamington also hopes to be able to add realistic scenarios and culture trees (whatever that means — Murlock paintings, maybe?), so it might be worth checking back from time to time for updates.
Wait, what? The discovery of Blackrock Mountain has increased happiness in the empire? This isn’t right!

oh yes…. i think i will finally buy the CIV 5. but i will not see the outside world again
Do it, it’s amazing game
JUst remember to say goodbye to your family and loved ones before you start playing
Yes, instead of seeing loved ones and family, you will be seeing a lot of sunrises. Oh, onemoreturnitis.
Will definitely have to keep an eye on this as he adds more races and completes the conversion, just another reason to keep playing Civ
That’s how I was when I got the war hammer mod for civ 4
I loved Warcraft 1 and 2 (couldn’t get into 3 and did not care for wow at all) so this excites me!
I’ve never installed a mod pack before. This very well could be the first time I do.
I’d much rather see this happen with something like Total War, so we can have epic Warcraft battles 🙂
let’s see how long it takes before Blizzard throws their lawyers at this mod.
I mean, he’s not even trying to use his own artwork…
I’ve actually been in touch with Blizzard to get permission to use their work, and they love the mod and think it’s a great idea. I’d love to have the talent and time to make all my own art from scratch but I think using Blizzard’s own artwork as well as a few fan artists (All with permission) brings a better product.
There’s mods that have been created to include Mass Effect races in Civ V as well. Still, I want to try this out 🙂
How will I feed my family?
I endorse this product and or event.
Not bad. Not bad at all.
wait… Mt. Neverest?
the fuck were you smoking blizzard?
