New maps and other goodies for Civvies who pre-order through Steam.
2K Games are partnering with Valve to integrate a mess of Steamworks features into the upcoming Civilization V, and have just announced that there'll be a Digital Deluxe Edition of the game available via Steam.
Even better, pre-orders of the game will net you not only the game as soon as it's out sometime this Spring, but also a free map pack on launch!
The Digital Deluxe Edition will feature the Babylonian civilisation, along with its ruler Nebuchadnezzar II and units of Babylonian Bowmen. There'll also be an exclusive Behind the Scenes at Firaxis video, and the game's soundtrack. The preorder map pack is The Cradle of Civilization, featuring the heart of the Nile and its surrounds.
And, if you hurry, there's a Steam sale on all previous editions of Civ starting today - it's only for a limited time, though, so get in quick!
