Civilization V has a core artificial intelligence problem its design team’s never solved, but if you don’t mind (or even notice) those frustrating idiosyncrasies, meet Brave New World, the game’s second expansion pack, this time delving into international trade, adding a culture-specific victory condition, framing diplomacy with a world congress (United Nations-esque, voting on things like trade sanctions, resource usage and nukes) and folding in the usual array of re-imagined units, leaders, buildings, wonders and scenarios.
