Questions & Answers

To play this game, do you need the original Civ V?

For the game to work, you will need the original Civ 5.

Would the original game be needed or is the original included in this?

A copy of the original is necessary. I believe that you would be better off purchasing the Gold Edition (or whatever combination of packages you choose).

It doesn't require redemption on Steam, so can I use it without redeeming it? Can it be unlocked on one of my local computers?

This is a download, and because steam saves the game to your computer, you must use steam to download this game. Please accept my sincere apologies if this is not what you want

How does it work with Civil War Are there real gods and kings?

Yes, it is. As long as you have gods and kings (which means you either had the original civ 5 before gods and kings or got those 2 in a bundle) it almost certainly will As a side note, I believe this expansion is similar to Civ 4's Beyond the Sword What makes it such a great game is its expansion. I have used steam for years and have never had any issues, so in view of another response I have to say I haven't had any problems with it The discs don't have to be played with anymore, that's for sure. As a matter of fact, once a game has been installed and connected for one time (which you'll have to do in order to run it), running it doesn't require you to be online. If you prefer to stay offline, you may do so. That has worked for me, but why bother to use it, unless your internet goes down.

Selected User Reviews For Sid Meier's Civilization V: Brave New World

We are living in a completely different era
5/5

Having become a Civ fan fairly recently, I got into the series with Civilization Revolution and got into this game as well. Can you tell me what it is? I love it. Who were the Gods and Kings in the first expansion? Does this expansion seem divine? The scale of this is absolutely huge. There is nothing about this game that doesn't work, like the soundtrack, the civilizations, and everything about its style. As soon as one extends the trade routes system #globalization and the ideologies (Order, Autocracy, Freedom), one adds a new dimension to this expansion. On the front cover, you can get an idea of what this game is all about. As a result of the trade route system, diplomacy is all the more powerful, oh and I forgot to mention the World Congress, which arguably holds the most power Using it, embargos can be placed on civil and city states, projects may also be started and goods may be traded. Having spies on your side will be invaluable because you will need to cut deals with other countries regarding global laws. As far as I'm concerned, this is the best DLC to date, and it makes for a great way for Firaxis to retire Civ V and prepare Civilization Beyond Earth.

This is the Civ V we've been waiting for
5/5

Yeah, they took a long time to get there. Besides the glitches and bugs in the original version, the fold-out screen was a pain to use It only took a patch or two for our paper technical tree to become obsolete. The website offers a host of additional services There was an agonizing slowdown in line multiplayer The only time it worked was when it finally worked. It might be the gods & goddesses The King's Rebuild program sorted out the mess and added a number of nice features, but it still lacked a few things. This is the first movie that gives us a comprehensive look at the era It is the first game of Civilization worthy of its illustrious A. , R. From the Civilization IV.

It is the middle-income group that has seen the greatest change Last but not least- A new twist on this game, where Tourism (a byproduct of Culture) becomes a major factor in winning, as well as beefing up the resources beefed up (some might say too much - Up-date) World Congress/United Nations agenda. You can eventually combine your Social Policy selections with an Ideology (autocracy, order, freedom) to assist you in getting where you want to go. As a result, you will be notified (befriending you when the ideologies are shared, or vice versa). Your Archaeology technology lets you send archaeologists around the world to dig up artifacts that can either be used as landmarks or put in your culture buildings to display them. Are you a fan of Raiders of the Lost Ark? Continue to maintain a good relationship Citizenship and citizenship voting is more important than ever before, given that global votes can be crippling (trade embargoes, banned luxury goods, and global ideologies, for instance). A ruler of the World would have lots to think about, plot, and scheme about when it comes to becoming a world ruler (not just a free one).

As a side Although I don't know why a digital download is still full price, a DVD box is barely half that, if you've waited this long, you can wait a few more days, save some money, and order the DVD.

This is the full version
5/5

A new Civ-style game, BNW feels like something out of a novel. I like the Trade System very much it forces me to learn some tech I wouldn't normally pick up. In addition to having a much larger army in the game, the World Congress seems to provide another way for players to control it. Culture's new victory is great because the road to victory can be taken by various means. to have many social policies, just to be small. this note, it seemed to me that G & W is strong Vanilla and K, some of the social policy trees did not fully define their On one hand, Commerce was about gold and happiness, and on the other hand, it was about water. The introduction of religion also ushered in a variety of policies related to piety. I really like the way that's taken care of in the It is also great that the ideologies are so flexibly expressed in this game. The world congress doesn't offer a lot of things to propose if you want Autocracy. <extra_id_18>br>(You don't have to dominate the world to become one. )

This is one complaint I have for the world congress. Whenever I play a game, the resolutions seem to be the same. I would suggest if you enjoyed civ v at any point that you try out this mod, which brings new life to Those who liked past civ games but disliked V because of its simplicity will find there is a lot more to this game now than before.

The expansion has been great
5/5

A total rewrite of the game was brought about by the Brave New World expansion. If this expansion is removed from Civ V, I can't imagine whether or not I would enjoy the game again. Compared to previous years, the culture and the diplomatic victories have changed considerably and allow me to enjoy better games. As a result, the depth of the game is increased since there is more to keep track of while playing. playing around with some of the new civilizations can also be fun, especially ones that focus on trade routes, which are also relatively As an early gamer, rather than earning gold from river tiles, you need to create trade routes with your neighbors. I wish they would improve the AI as it's one thing I wish they would improve. However, they are challenging even on the higher difficulty settings, so cheating to get that advantage is a real necessity. While I would prefer the AI to behave more realistically, I am aware of how challenging it is to make an AI this good.

The fun was great
5/5

You play something so obsessively that your spouse leaves you, your pot plants die of neglect, and you discover 3 weeks later that you've been wasting your time and money. In order to get the greatest value from Civilization in the original game, you will need the Brave New World. As a matter of fact, the Mongols are getting restless, so I must leave.

There is a whole new game to play
5/5

For the past 10 years I have loved playing civilization since DOS. It's not just a new expansion, it's a whole new game. Take a look at this one, if you enjoyed Civ V. This one features many features not present in Civ V. There is a revival of caravans, but not the kind we used to know. The entire game has been rebuilt. There are new wonders and buildings, and the units are different. Despite my love of the game, I wasn't ready to have to learn the game My thinking was the changes would not be so radical in an extension when the changes took place from IV to V. You can take a look at this if you were bored with the V already. As usual, it did not disappoint, and it was absolutely worth the price get a free game when you pay for the extension. This deal is great!.
