CIVILIZATION V BRAVE NEW WORLD EXPANSION PACK SERIES

You’re not just erecting a series of culture buildings and clicking “Next Turn” anymore. Tourism becomes the swinging sword of the non-violent Civ player, and it immeasurably improves the complexity of the mid- and late-game when the aim is to avoid military conflict. Creating one of these consumes the Great Person in question and fills a slot with some creation or another that attracts foreign visitors to your land. Many culture buildings now come with slots for housing different types of Great Works, from one of the three new “Great Person” categories: Artist, Musician, and Writer. Every civ still has a culture rating determined by buildings, Wonders, and social policies, but set apart from that rating is an entirely new system: Tourism. This is where the tweaked culture systems come into play. A healthy trade network is vitally important for expanding your influence across the globe. As time marches on and elements like religion and tourism – a new feature for Brave New World – come into play, the additional influences starts to bleed into trade routes as well. In gameplay terms, it’s simple enough in the early days: construct a caravan or cargo ship and set up a trade route with another city, either one of your own or one belonging to another civ or city-state.

Remember when McDonald’s opened its first restaurant in Russia (then the U.S.S.R.) in 1990? Or, looking further back, the British Invasion? Trade isn’t just an exchange of goods and currency it’s also an exchange of ideas. The trade adjustments lean toward acknowledging the profound impact that global markets can have on individual societies in the real world. That three-year-old game has improved yet again with Brave New World, an expansion that focuses on giving non-violent players a wider array of options with trade and culture. Firaxis improved the hell out of it in 2012’s Gods & Kings expansion, with tweaks to diplomacy and the introduction of a system for religion.

Make no mistake, this is a compliment: Civilization V was a very strong game when it came out in 2010.

It would be downright evil if the core content were anything less than excellent.
