Buy Sid Meier's Civilization V Brave New World PC key

Sid Meier's Civilization V Brave New World is an expansion for Civilization V that adds international trade and new systems for culture and diplomacy. As you guide a civilization through history, your choices affect your relationships with other civilizations. The expansion adds nine civilizations, eight wonders, two scenarios, four gameplay systems, and dozens of units, buildings and improvements.

Culture and ideology

You can pursue a new Culture Victory by spreading your culture until it has majority influence in every other civilization. Great Artists, Writers and Musicians create Great Works for buildings such as Museums, Opera Houses and the Great Library. Archaeologists can investigate ancient battle sites and city ruins for cultural artifacts.

On entering the Industrial Age, you choose an ideology for your people: Freedom, Order or Autocracy. Each provides increasingly powerful abilities and supports different victory conditions. Your choice also affects relations with other civilizations for the rest of the game.

Diplomacy and trade

The World Congress gives diplomacy and city-state alliances a greater role. Its votes cover issues such as trade sanctions against rogue nations, resource-use limits, host cities for the World Games and the use of nuclear weapons. You can trade votes and propose resolutions, while the Congress adds a new lead-in to Diplomatic Victory.

International Trade Routes by land and sea let you connect cities to build wealth and prosperity, while also spreading religion, cultural influence and science. The number of routes available grows through economic and technological advances, wonders and your civilization's unique abilities. You can choose a nearby city for a safer, smaller return, a more distant city for greater risk and payoff, or send food and production between cities within your own empire.

New civilizations and wonders

The expansion introduces nine civilizations and leaders, including Poland, Brazil, Portugal and Zulu. Each has unique traits, units and buildings. Eight new wonders include the Parthenon, Broadway, the Globe Theater and the Uffizi.

New scenarios

• American Civil War: Fight for either the Union or the Confederacy in the Eastern theatre between Richmond and Washington.
• Scramble for Africa: Explore a dynamically generated African continent as the world's colonial powers compete to extend their reach into its interior and find its natural wonders.
