The Explorer’s Map Pack for Civilization V includes ten single-player maps. Five are newly created, based on real-world locations—Amazon, Caribbean, Africa, Bering Strait, and Northwest Passage—designed to reflect the general layout and features of each region. The other five—Sandstorm, Ice Age, Haunted, Highlands, and Oasis—are scripted thematic maps with randomized elements to offer varied gameplay across multiple sessions.
