Civ V: Gods and Kings standalone demo is now on Steam

Even though Civilization V: Gods and Kings is technically a DLC add-on to the original Civ V, you can now play the Gods and Kings demo on Steam as a standalone experience.

In case you’re wondering what’s different, Gods and Kings adds nine new civilizations, new wonders, and new scenarios/units (including one scenario that basically recreates the beginning of Gladiator).

The re-addition of religions alone is what sparked my interest in the game, and I have to say, I’m really enjoying it. Also, Neuschwanstein!
