===Social Policies=== In a change to the culture system, in ''Sid Meier's Civilization V'' players have the ability to "purchase" social policies at the expense of earned culture. These social policies are made up of ten separate ''trees'', and filling out six of the ten trees is a requirement to win a cultural victory. These policies replace the "Civics" government system of Civilization IV; the main difference is that the player had to switch out of old civics to adopt a new one, while social policies are cumulative bonuses. According to Jon Shafer, "With the policies system, we wanted to keep the feel of mixing and matching to construct one's government that was part of Civ IV, but we also wanted to instill a sense of forward momentum. Rather than having to switch out of one policy to adopt another, you build upon the policies already unlocked. The thought process we want to promote is "What cool new effect do I want?" rather than the feeling of needing to perform detailed analysis to determine if switching is a good idea." <ref name="gamespotE3">{{cite web|title=Civilization V Q&A--First E3 Details|url=http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/civilizationv/news.html?sid=6265330&mode=previews|publisher=Gamespot|accessdate=12 September 2010|date=15 June 2010}}</ref> {|class="wikitable sortable" style="margin:left; width: 30%;" |+List of Social Policies in ''Sid Meier's Civilization V'' !Policy !Unlocked |- | [[Sid Meier's Civilization V/Tradition|Tradition]] || Start |- | [[Sid Meier's Civilization V/Liberty|Liberty]] || Start |- | [[Sid Meier's Civilization V/Honor|Honor]] || Start |- | [[Sid Meier's Civilization V/Piety|Piety]] || [[Classical Era]] |- | [[Sid Meier's Civilization V/Patronage|Patronage]] || [[Medieval Era]] |- | [[Sid Meier's Civilization V/Commerce|Commerce]] || [[Medieval Era]] |- | [[Sid Meier's Civilization V/Freedom|Freedom]] || [[Renaissance Era]] |- | [[Sid Meier's Civilization V/Rationalism|Rationalism]] || [[Renaissance Era]] |- | [[Sid Meier's Civilization V/Order|Order]] || [[Industrial Era]] |- | [[Sid Meier's Civilization V/Autocracy|Autocracy]] || [[Industrial Era]] |}
