The packs are entitled ‘Civilization and Scenario Pack: Denmark – The Vikings’ and ‘Explorers Map Pack.’

According to Tom Ivan over at computerandvideogames.com, the two packs will be arriving on Tuesday, May 3rd, and will set you back £2.99 each. The Denmark Civilization and Scenario Pack provides gamers with both the 1066: Year of the Viking Destiny Scenario and the Denmark Civilization.

The 1066: Year of Viking Destiny Scenario sees players taking on the role of one of four leaders, as they seize control of the British Isles. Meanwhile, the Denmark Civilization has players ruling the world as Harald Bluetooth, who was the King of Denmark for almost 30 years.

As for the Explorers Map Pack, this provides players with ten fantastic single-player maps. 5 of the included maps are based upon real-world locations, which have been chosen for their gameplay possibilities and historical interest. The other 5 are scripted map environments.

These maps will reportedly change from game to game. Are you looking forward to new Civilization V DLC?

The patch appears to have arrived right at the very same time that the new DLC Pack is released.

According to a recent article by Mike Jackson over at computerandvideogames.com, the latest Civilization 5 PC patch is aimed at fixing several issues that have been reported, including the problem in which a garrison wouldn’t be selected when players clicked on a city plot.

A few of the leader settings have also received a bit of tweaking, so they are more likely to use their traits. The AI has been improved as well, and won’t use Horse as defenders on hills as much now. It will also build, deploy and use air units more effectively.

Other changes that have been made within the latest patch include an added “Circus Maximus” national wonder, which requires Markets in every city, the library now has no specialist slots, the Research Lab now has 2 specialist slots and the City Defense building now help cities heal.

You can read the full list of changes by visiting the 2K Games forum. Have you been experiencing any problems with the Civilization V game?
