Sakha Civilisation

A Civilization VI mod that adds the Sakha (Yakut) people as a playable civilisation — unique units, buildings, and mechanics drawn from the culture of the Russian Far North.

Sakha Civilisation — key art

Sakha Civilisation brings my own heritage into one of my favourite strategy games. It adds the Sakha (Yakut) people to Sid Meier’s Civilization VI as a fully playable civilisation, published on the Steam Workshop.

The mod pairs unique units, buildings, and gameplay bonuses with original artwork and iconography — an attempt to represent a Northern indigenous culture with care inside a global 4X game, rather than as set dressing.

  • Custom civilisation with unique abilities, units, and infrastructure
  • Original icons, leader art, and in-game illustration
  • Mechanics themed around the climate and culture of the Sakha Republic (Yakutia)
