Civilization V is already a pretty massive game, and now even more so thanks to the continued support from Aspyr Media. Civ V now supports mods thanks to Steam Workshop on Linux.
It was officially made available on the 18th of June according to Aspyr Media. This opens up a whole host of posibilities, like a Lord of the Rings map and many more mods.

I just tried the Lord of the Rings mod, but it crashes every time that I start a game :-(
I just saw in the FAQ that this mod doesn't work on the MAC, so probably the same with Linux.

Workshop worked, but you had to move files around a bit, and for a lot of mods you had to make the directory case-insensitive (AAAARGH!)
