The Polynesian Scenario Pack brings you both the Polynesian Civilization and a new Scenario, Paradise Found. Rule the world as Kamehameha, unifier of Hawai’i, with your powerful navy and imposing Moai statues!
In Paradise Found, players take on the role of one of the four great Polynesian kingdoms as they strive to become the dominant culture in Polynesia. All-new technology and social policy trees unlock powerful advantages to players, including the fearsome Maori Warrior and the enigmatic Moai. Special changes to the game rules allow players to build expansive kingdoms quickly without impeding their cultural growth, but the seas of the Pacific are huge and land is at a premium among the atolls and islands. Take the best islands for yourself, and prove your mana as a ruler as you build Polynesia to stand the test of time!
Polynesia Ruler – Kamehameha
Kamehameha was the first ruler to unite all of the Big Islands of Hawai’i under his rule in 1791, and reformed many of the island’s laws to protect its people. Because of his strong rule and wise policies, Hawai’i remained an independent kingdom long after Kamehameha’s death in 1819.
This is a short overview of the purchasable versions of Civilization V and its downloadable content (DLC).
Up to date as of December 14th, 2013.
Versions
Civillization V was initially released in three different versions. A normal version, a digital deluxe edition, and one special edition (not as download, only in shops).
The normal version included only the game, whereas the digital deluxe edition came with the Babylon DLC, a digital artbook, and the ingame soundtrack as another separate download (23 songs).
The special edition came with a CD for the game, a real artbook, two soundtrack CDs and five tin figures.
These versions, including the Game Of The Year versions (see below) are available for PC and Mac. Civilization V is also part of SteamPlay, so if a customer purchases the PC version, he will also be able to download the Mac version. However, if a user chooses to purchase the Mac version through SteamPlay, Aspyr (who develop the Mac version of Civilization V) receive none of the revenue.
All versions, no matter if digital or bought as DVD in a shop, are bound to the digital distribution platform Steam (Steam article on wikipedia).
The only exception is the the “Campaign edition”, which is a Mac version and only available via Apples AppStore. This edition lacks multiplayer support and does not support achievements.
Besides the several DLC packs (listed below), two addons, named “Gods & Kings” and “Brave New World” have been released (the former on June 19th/21st 2012, the latter July 9th, 2013). The addon “Gods & Kings” does only include Spain from the DLC content, and no other civs, scenarios or other things released as DLC.
All the DLC packs are compatible with Gods & Kings and Brave New World.
Scenarios have not been updated to include the respective addon rules though.
