I want to skip the Gods and Kings expansion. Does anyone know if this is possible? That is, will the expansion Brave New World work without Gods and Kings?

Best Answer
Civilization V is a Steamworks title (i.e., all versions require Steam). As such, I consulted the store page of Brave New World
The game is listed as DLC, and steam indicates that it only requires the base game to play.
In short, you are totally okay to pass up Gods and Kings, since Brave New World contains all the changes (espionage, religion, combat, etc.)
This would mean, then, that if you will get all of the benefits from Gods and Kings except for the civs, relegating the expansion to a simple bundle of Civs and leaders, to those who already own Brave New World.
