The summary of topics is as follows:
- 02m48s | News
A new patch for Civilization V has been released; then, much ado about the just announced expansion Brave New World: civilizations, policies, archaeology, international trade routes, technology trading(?) and the World Congress (09m59s); Wonders of the World, Great People, Victory Conditions and Ideologies (21m45s); odds and ends revolving around focusing on the late game with new mechanics while at the same time impacting on early gameplay with an emphasis on efforts other than those based on armed combat (30m15s); and on two scenarios -- one of which raises concern over how the subject matter will be treated -- and rounding out some details on previously raised points (36m13s). (Further reference thread #1; #2; #3; #4; #5; #6; #7.)
- 48m08s | Forum Talk
Working to avoid, or at least deal with, a runaway civilization in CivV (recorded for Episode 166).
- 53m21s | Miscellaneous
For the first time in the Civilization V line of titles, the Macintosh port of the BNW expansion to be released at the same time as its PC counterpart.

A long overdue overhaul and knowing that you do not know what you do not know.
