Civilization 5 Korea, Ancient World DLC

Artemis winning.

Two new Civilization V DLC packs will be released on Thursday, 11th August.

They are the Civlization and Scenario Pack: Korea, and the Wonders of the Ancient World Scenario Pack.

The former involves Korea, China, Manchuria and Japan. You can play as any of those factions and plot your part in history after Toyotomi Hideyoshi unifies Japan. You can even fill the boots of Korean leader Sejong, King of the Chosen Dynasty.

Wonders of the Ancient World brings three new wonders to the game: the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus (boosts economy), the Statue of Zeus (boosts siege power when attacking cities) and the Temple of Artemis (makes cities grow faster). The scenario involves building all nine ancient wonders first - or taking them by force from local rivals.

You can buy each pack separately for $4.99; alternatively, you can buy them together for $7.49.

Incidentally, there's a patch on its way to Civilization 5, but "not necessarily releasing before this DLC", wrote 2K Games community manager 2K Greg on the game's forum.

Civilization 5 was released in September 2010. Eurogamer's Civilization 5 review awarded 8/10.

Wonderful.

    Good to know they're still adding. The price can be a bit high but the DLC (particularly the real-world scenarios and new civs) has been great.

    What about sorting multiplayer animations and saving? its disgraceful that neither have been sorted yet.

    Yeah, it's surprising it's taken them this long to sort the missing multiplayer options. I tend to only play this multiplayer at a friend's place with my laptop, mostly because Hotseat wasn't even an option for much of the first year. On several occasions we've lost track of games after it turned out that the only save files it keeps are the Auto saves. Despite efforts to back those up, it's difficult to keep track of them when they're all named much the same. It's just not practical to get through a whole game in one sitting much of the time, I don't understand why we're unable to save multiplayer games in any meaningful way. The infuriating part is that the game makes all the folders for saves from each mode, but doesn't do anything with them.

    Also I miss play by email.
