I could spend months writing about “Civilization V”…yes, it’s that big of a game. I gave the base game a 9/10 in the review I published last year, but held off on buying any of the expansions due to financial reasons. Low and behold, Steam came through with a summer sale that allowed me to upgrade to the “Gold Edition” for a measly five bucks and catch the “Brave New World” for twenty. For those of you confused by all of the DLC the game contains, the “Gold Edition” includes all of the smaller DLC packs and the first major expansion “Gods & Kings”. Basically, everything up to “Brave New World”, which is the second major expansion in the series. For the sake of simplicity, I’ll be briefly touching on each of these two major expansions and providing my thoughts on each. I probably could have separated them both into two separate articles, but hey, it’s my blog and I’ll cheat be efficient if I want to.
