There’s a significant segment of the population for whom this post’s headline makes zero sense, so allow us to explain: Civilization V is a video game that simulates the growth and conquests of mighty civilizations over thousands of years. A “mod” is a user-generated modification that introduces new elements into a video game.

The creator admits that the idea is more funny than practical. “This is a mod that is playable, but not intended to be winnable or even enjoyable,” he (or she) writes.

And so basically, someone took on a complicated game-customization project for the sole purpose of producing screenshots like this one:
