Spanish, Incas Coming to Civ V

Two new civilizations have been announced as DLC for Civilization V: the Spaniards and the Incans will be arriving as DLC on December 16, along with a new scenario set in the 15th century.

The Spaniards will be led by Queen Isabella I. Her marriage to Ferdinand laid the groundwork for the consolidation of Spain. For her role in the Spanish unification, patronage of Columbus’ voyages to America, and ending of the Reconquista (Recapturing) of the Iberian Peninsula, Isabella is regarded as one of the most beloved and important monarchs in the Spanish crown.

Pachacuti will lead the Incas. He was the ninth ruler of the Kingdom of Cusco, who during his reign expanded the tiny kingdom into an expansive empire – Tawantinsuyu. Pachacuti’s Incan Empire stretched from modern-day Chile to Ecuador, including most of Peru, Bolivia, and northern Argentina, and laid the foundation for an even larger Incan Empire to come.

The scenario will take place in the famous year of 1492, as England, France, and Spain will compete against each other and the Incans to dominate the New World.

The downloadable content will cost $7.49 and will be available on PC and Mac.
