Si vous souhaitez étoffer un peu plus la palette de chefs disponibles pour les différentes nations jouables dans Civilization, voici depuis quelques jours d’une part un personnage pour incarner les Mayas, voir la vidéo ci-après, et d’autre part un autre pour la Grande Colombie, voir le trailer ci-dessus. Les deux ayant leurs propres capacités spéciales, en plus des unités et bâtiments uniques ajoutés au jeu comme à l’accoutumée.
A noter que ce premier DLC est accompagné par une importante mise à jour gratuite, dans laquelle on trouvera deux nouvelles ressources, trois nouvelles Merveilles, six nouvelles cité-états, un mode de jeu dit Apocalypse ajoutant lui par exemple des feux de forêts et des pluies de météores, puis augmentant l’impact des autres catastrophes naturelles afin de pousser le joueur à endiguer une sorte d’apocalypse climatique, a priori. Puis ce patch corrige et / ou ajuste aussi différents aspects du jeu, par exemple du coté de l’interface et de l’IA. Voyez le changelog plus bas pour plus de détails.
Pour plus d’informations sur le pass New Frontier, dont le contenu va donc être distillé régulièrement au fil des dix ou douze prochains mois, voyez cette fiche sur Steam. Alternativement ce pack de deux leaders est aussi disponible à part, voyez alors cette fiche sur Steam.
