The preview first briefly talks about the scenarios, the new units, the culture-specific graphics, the new fort system, and the improved AI. Then it discusses the major gameplay additions/changes such as espionage, corporation, random events, and the improved space race in detail. This is a MUST read!

| Beyond the Sword adds so many core changes that you could almost call it Civilization V, but the changes feel like they're a step in the right direction. Perhaps that's because a lot of the changes can really shake up the established approaches to playing the game. There's a lot more to chance now, and you can't predict when a natural disaster or another random event might throw a new complication into the mix. Beyond the Sword is quite possibly the biggest Civilization expansion to date, and that's saying a lot. But you have time to prepare because it won't ship until July. |
