Civilization V gets two new randomized DLC packs

Civilization V will receive two new DLC packs starting from today, developer Firaxis Games has announced.

The Scrambled Continents map pack is available now, priced at $4.99. The pack contains continent outlines based on Africa, Eastern Asia, North and South America, Western Europe, Middle East, and a thawed Antarctica. The insides of the continents are randomly generated with each game, however.

Also includes with the Scrambled Continents map pack are new scripted maps for Small Continents, Oceania, and a map with all the continents on Earth.

The developer will also release the Scrambled Nations pack on November 5, also for $4.99. This map provides outlines for Canada, Australia, Japan, Scandinavia, Great Britain, and China, but also randomises the insides of the continent with each new game played.

Civilization V was originally released for PC in September 2010, and saw expansion packs Gods & Kings and Brave New World released in 2012 and 2013, respectively.
