Maybe it's just because I'm terrible at resource management, but I often found myself running into financial trouble in previous iterations of this game, especially once I started expanding further and further, building more roads, and so on. The most significant change to the core game is the addition of trade routes. New civs, new mechanics, and new scenarios make up the content of Civilization V's latest expansion. Then again, Sensible New World doesn't have quite the same ring to it, I suppose. In this regard, Brave New World is perhaps less a brave step forward for this aging title, and more a sensible one. These are all changes that make perfect sense, and mostly manage to achieve Firaxis' goal of a better, less predictable late-game push, without making any major fundamental changes to the way Civ V is generally played.
It aims to revamp the sometimes tepid and mundane late-game elements with reworked culture mechanics, additional monetary resources, and a whole new method of diplomacy between civilizations. Brave New World is a bigger expansion than the last, and a more targeted one.
We're now three years removed from Civ V's initial release, and a year from the last big expansion to overhaul this world-dominating strategy game. Calling Civilization V's latest (and last) expansion Brave New World was an interesting, if not wholly accurate choice.
