New Civ V Maps Available on Steam

2K Games and Firaxis have released a handful of new maps as downloadable content for Civilization V, all pooled from the same group they're calling the "Cradle of Civilization".

You can grab the Mediterranean, Asia, the Americas or Mesopotamia - each for US$2.99, or all as one pack for US$9.99 from Steam. As far as I can tell, there's no price difference for Australia barring our current conversion rate (in that, there's no 'specific' Aussie hiked price-point). Click here for more info from Steam, and the thumbnails below for a better look at the new maps.

Unfortunately the AI in this game, especially the on the military side, totally killed this game for me. It is a shame because it could have been great.

Yeah I've been thinking I may never start it up again, which is a bit disappointing. Every time I've considered it I remember how little variety I find in it, and how all the AI civs are just stupid assholes centred around really boring earth leaders, instead of getting a feel for dynamically building a human history.

The AI is shit, but theres a patch coming soon that's supposed to help. Also, there's lots of mods that really enhance the game.

As for these map packs, I think there's two or 3 maps in each.
