Mods
General
Unfortunately, there is no one-stop, well-organized source for all your Glest modding needs. However, below is a collection of mods and locations where you can find mods. Please add your own mods and websites to this list, but please put nothing more than the name of the mod/website in the link's display name and put a short description out to the side. If you find any dead links, broken websites, or outdated information please remove the link or update the information.
Below you will find tilesets, maps, and mods.
Tilesets are the collection of graphics that are used to display the Glest world that you play within. Default Glest comes with the Forest and Winter Forest tilesets, but once you install any of the below tilesets, you can choose between them at the new game setup menu.
