Firaxis' world-conquering strategy game Civilization Revolution is about to get some downloadable goodies for owners of the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions. A free single-player map pack and a paid DLC scenario pack are set to land on October 9.

The Brave New Worlds single-player pack is a free set of four maps each with their own unique terrain. "Mazeworld," "Chokepoint," "Donutworld," and "Checkerboard" all take the shapes their names imply, making for some unorthodox territories to conquer.

The Victory Pack, a paid download retailing for 100 MS Points ($1.25) or $1.25 on the PlayStation Network, offers three single-player scenarios: "Enlightenment," a fight for a cultural victory, "Hyper Drive," a high-speed space race, and "Gold Rush," a race for the most money.

The game's official website says that tomorrow's DLC is "the first round" of downloads, implying that more is still to come.
