Mac Strategy DLC for Civ V Players

Sid Meier's Civilization V: Cradle of Civilization - Asia is a downloadable expansion for Mac that adds a map covering the Indus and Yellow River valleys. It requires the base game and a Steam account for activation. The product is sold new as an online code and carries an ESRB Everyone 10+ rating. Buyers in blocked regions including AF, BY and RU cannot activate it.

Runs on Modest Mac Hardware

Minimum requirements call for OS 10.6.4, an Intel Core 2 Duo at 2.4 GHz and 2 GB RAM. Supported video cards include the Radeon HD 2600 and newer AMD models up to the HD 6750, plus NVIDIA GeForce 8600 through 330M and Intel HD 3000. The install needs 8 GB of disk space and a one-time Internet connection for Steam authentication. No special cooling or power considerations apply to this software download.

Adds Historical Map Content Only

The DLC introduces the Asia map with two ancient river valleys for new strategic scenarios. It does not add new civilizations, leaders, units or gameplay mechanics beyond the map itself. Steam authentication is mandatory before play. Players who want additional civilizations or rule changes must look to other expansions. The code delivers the map pack and nothing else.

FeatureAsia
The Indus River valley was home to the early Harappan civilization while the Yellow River valley in China saw the rise of the earliest Chinese dynasties. Both these regions are included on the same map.
The Cradle of Civilization map packs are Firaxis-designed maps of real-world locations. You can play random leaders in these settings, or choose leaders appropriate to the history of these areas. The maps can also be opened up in World Builder, where you can even create specific scenarios.

Questions about this item

How do I install the DLC on my Mac, and what step is often missed?

Redeem the online game code in Steam, then enable the Cradle of Civilization - Asia DLC in the Civilization V DLC menu; the step often missed is launching the base game once after activation so Steam registers the new map pack.

Will this downloadable content require any future updates or re-downloads?

No physical media exists to degrade; the DLC stays in your Steam library indefinitely, and any future macOS compatibility patches would be delivered automatically through the Steam client.

What hardware limit will I hit first on a Mac running OS X 10.6.4 with 2 GB RAM and a Radeon HD2600?

The 2 GB system memory ceiling is reached first during large late-game turns, causing noticeable slowdowns before the 256 MB video memory or 2.4 GHz dual-core processor become bottlenecks.
