Civ5 DLC coming up!

[Shabbaman]

I just found this:

As a tribute to fans, Firaxis is offering a free Mongols Civilization and Scenario Pack as well as the Babylonian Civ for purchase on Oct. 26th.

You can download the Mongol pack through Steam and use Genghis Khan's Mongol Horsemen to take over swaths of Asia and Europe. The free DLC will contain a scenario allowing you to start from Khan's humble beginnings to eventually dominate the largest empire known to man. Also available on Oct. 26th is the Babylonian Civ Pack with which you can take on the role of Nebuchadnezzar II and bring peace, or not, with your Babylonian Bowmen. The Babylonians were previously only available to those customers who bought the Digital Deluxe Edition. The Babylonian Civilization Pack will cost $4.99.

So.

I like that they're giving us the mongol tribe for free. It's a shame they were missing as they were in civ1, but I like the trend that we get new civs (and scenario's) for free! Unfortunately Firaxis breaks this tradition on the soonest occasion with the $5 for Babylon. That's way too much for, well, bowmen. Perhaps it costs that much because its in the special edition?
