About Sid Meier's Civilization V: Brave New World

Sid Meier's Civilization V: Brave New World is the second expansion pack for the critically acclaimed Civilization V, winner of the 2010 PC Game of the Year. This expansion deepens the strategic experience by introducing international trade routes, a new culture victory path, and a dynamic World Congress that lets you shape global policy.

International trade routes allow you to connect your cities by land or sea, generating wealth, spreading religion, and influencing other civilizations. Choose between safe short routes or risky long ones for greater rewards. You can also send vital food and production internally to boost your empire's growth.

The World Congress adds a new layer of diplomacy. Propose and vote on resolutions such as trade sanctions, resource limits, and nuclear weapon restrictions. Engage in vote trading and intrigue to advance your agenda, and work toward a diplomatic victory by securing alliances with city-states.

Culture victory is reimagined: create Great Works with Artists, Writers, and Musicians, display them in Museums and Opera Houses, and send Archaeologists to excavate artifacts. Achieve majority influence over all other civilizations to become the world's cultural leader.

Choose an ideology—Freedom, Order, or Autocracy—when entering the Industrial Age. Each offers unique bonuses and affects your relationships with other civilizations. This system adds a new dimension to late-game strategy and victory conditions.

Brave New World includes 9 new civilizations (Poland, Brazil, Portugal, Zulu, and more), 8 new wonders (Parthenon, Broadway, etc.), two new scenarios (American Civil War and Scramble for Africa), and dozens of new units, buildings, and improvements, ensuring endless replayability.

  • New culture victory with Great Works and Archaeologists
  • World Congress for global diplomacy and resolutions
  • International trade routes by land and sea
  • 9 new civilizations and 8 new wonders
  • Two new scenarios: American Civil War and Scramble for Africa
