Civilization 5: Brave New World trailer shows off trade routes
A new trailer for Civilization 5's Brave New World expansion shows off the new trade routes system.
It's a testament to Civilization 5's thoughtful, historically-based gameplay that the addition of international trade routes is a major pillar of the upcoming Brave New World expansion. Firaxis has talked quite a bit about the new ideology and cultures, so it's time for trade to have its day in the sun.
The revised system is said to help you expand more smoothly and actually pick your own paths to determine your trading partners. A new trailer shows off the feature. Check it out below, and for more detail on the broad scope of Brave New World, read our interview with lead designer Ed Beach and senior producer Dennis Shirk. The expansion drops on July 9.

This sort of reminds me of how Call to Power handled them. Bad AI would cause opponents to seize your trade routes and declare random war for no reason at all.

My friend who was a casual observer used to call the ivory routes, "Jet powered elephants"

Call to Power was a great game and I loved how trade was handled in it.

Can we have units who fly on a magic carpet?

While recently playing Civ V, I think I put the nail on one of the biggest reasonswhy Civ 5 is a regression on the whole vs. past Civs... The game's perk system reminds me of an MMORPG grind. You have to keep playing to get to the next perk and/or level. It's like leveling up in Torchlight or some WoW. The incentive to play is to level up level up level up. It's a distinct difference between Civ IV, where in Civ IV there was of course improved buildings as you played (as in all other Civs) but the level up system was more of a balance / trade off than straight power power power. There is very little trade off in CIv V along the way, that which only is you didn't choose X perk over Y perk. Civ IV's choices were fewer but way more meaningful, that sometimes came with both positive and negative changes.
I miss the balance of having finite bonuses and giving up certain bonuses (quasi permanently) in favor of other bonuses and potential consequences. :( Oh well, it's not like Civ V is a horrible game, it's just not as good on the whole.-
