Yes, Civ V is a good game, but that’s more a testament to how good a basic platform Sid Meier developed the current incarnation just seems to be missing so much that was in the earlier titles.

The Babylonian civilization led by Nebuchadnezzar II will only be available to Steam users.

This expansion pack for the PC game will be available July 23. 2007, in the US and the end of July 2007 for more »
