There are links for both the Steam and non-Steam (ice? kerosene?) versions of the mods.  Lots of very interesting civs in here, and fun to play.  I've gone through games with Mali, the Goths, and the Kievan Rus, and had most of these in my games at some point recently.

Goths you say, eh...

[FlickJax]

whats the best mod for new units, i am a sucker for unit variety?

If you click the spoiler tags, it opens up the info for each civ. 

The Goths and Benin both have interesting units.
The Garamantes unit sounds cool, but I've never played it.

Honestly, the coolest new unit I've seen in a while is the Shohone's scout replacement

[Steelgrave]

The Shohone scout is by far my favorite new unit in Civ. The ability to choose from several rewards when you take a goody hut usually kicks you at least a couple of tech advances over your neighbors and helps you get off to a good start.

This mod pack sounds cool, but I will probably wait until someone ports them to Steam, simply for ease of application.

Shoshone!
Pathfinders!

And the 2nd best thing about this civ is that they get more territory when a city is founded

worst thing is there commanche riders.... come in a little late relative to their strength etc.

Those dudes at CivFanatics have some cool new divs they've been monkeying around with:

Leader: Chê Bông Nga

UA: Pirates of the South Sea: Steal Gold from rival Civilizations you are at war with (bonus increases for every enemy City under Blockade) and from Cargo Ships in your territory whose owner does not have an active Trade Route to Champa.

UU: Ballista Elephant: Replaces Trebuchet. Does not need to set up to attack but has a much smaller bonus vs cities (+100% instead of +200%). +50% defense vs Mounted Units.

UI: Square Well: Available at Optics. +2 Food. +1 Gold after Navigation. Generates Golden Age Points whenever a Cargo Ship not owned by Champa travels within 2 tiles of the Improvement. May only be built on flatland coastal tiles. May be built outside friendly territory. May not be built adjacent to another Well or on top of Resources.

Leader: Sitting Bull

UA: Great Buffalo Hunt: Starting with your second City, settling near Plains Tiles will spawn a Buffalo Bonus Resource which will periodically roam throughout the map. Buffalo provide a large base tile yield and may claim neutral territory.*

UU: Strong Heart: Replaces Knight. Can receive defensive bonuses. +25% vs gunpowder units. The first Strong Heart trained will also act as a Great General, providing a combat bonus to nearby land units. If this unit is killed the bonus transfers to another random Strong Heart warrior.

UI: Tipi: Available at Trapping. +1 Food, +1 Culture. +1 Food after Horseback Riding. If built near a City near which Buffalo is also present, you have the option to move 1 Population from your largest City to the Tipi City. On City capture, all non-pillaged Tipi in the City Radius are removed. 1 Population per removed Tipi is redistributed to your remaining Cities (number can't exceed the remaining population of the captured City or your total number of Cities). Short build time. Does not remove Forests. Requires Flatland Plains tiles. May not be built adjacent to another Tipi or on Resource tiles.

* Must settle on or adjacent to Plains Tiles. The resource moves every 9, 12, 15, 24th turn on Quick, Standard, Epic, Marathon game speeds, respectively.
