Are the civilization games acessible? (self.Blind)

Not currently to people who are totally blind, though I have a few ideas. Civilization V in particular has a very extensive software development kit, which in theory at least could be used to make the game quite playable. NO one has put in the work on this probably because it's a fairly big project and it wasn't on the modding radar.

I am editing the text files in civ 6 to make font and ui bigger

I've done this as well. they also added a feature where you can change the colour of your civilization so that it has a higher contrast with the map. Run the game in borderless window and use the Windows screen magnifier in game and learn all the keyboard shortcuts. I'm pretty sure every single type of unit has a special sound effect that it makes when you have it selected, which is super useful. It's actually become one of my favourite games to play for its ease of use.

What size text did you increase it to because if you do it too much the text overlaps
PungentMushrooms 1 points 3y ago
I don't remember what I increased it bye and I'm not at home so I can't check right now but the text does overlap at places but I just deal with it.

AFAIK, no.
