After reaching that level, the terrain becomes littered with antiquity sites, primed for digging up valuable artifacts the archaeologist can recover. Upon researching archaeology, a completely new feature of the game opens up, with players gaining access to an Indiana Jones-like unit aptly called an archaeologist.
Great works and tourism don't stop with Great People in the game, however. There are eight new wonders, and most of them (like the Globe Theater, Broadway, and Uffizi) directly help tourism and culture. Think of tourism as an "offense" against other civilizations, with culture serving as a "defense" against their tourism. A great artist, for example, can still start a golden age, but he/she can also create a Great Work that can be displayed in an appropriate building or wonder, which creates tourism and culture points for the empire. As your empire expands and reaches new eras, you'll encounter great people (as in the other versions of the games), but this time with a few twists. Unlike Civilization IV: Beyond the Sword (which boasted cultural and diplomacy improvements but didn't deliver on them entirely), this time Firaxis has got it right with the amount of changes and the way the player has to do rethink their strategy.Ĭulture has been greatly changed from Civilization V: Gods and Kings, adding a new "resource" called tourism. Culture and diplomacy take center stage, and are the main focuses for players.
What makes Brave New World stand out is the level of detail that Firaxis carefully crafted into the game. Civilization V: Brave New World is the second expansion for Civilization V, and despite a few minor hiccups, it is one of the best entries in the franchise's long and storied history. When a game can survive year after year, after waves upon waves of competition across numerous genres bid for gamers' time and money, it is a testament to its impeccable design and function to remain relevant.
