I have the brave new world expansion on DVD. Back when games came on physical media.
As for favorite civ? I'm not sure.
It's hard to diss Pocatello's extra land from the get go, and being able to pick what you want from the ancient ruins. Then again Kamehameha can immediately disembark so you can quick discover more of the map and that's pretty handy too.
Haile Selassie is a tough nut to crack when doing the one city challenge. You'd think India would have a better bonus, but that seems to be only for civ happiness and food. Selasie gets a decent combat bonus for having less cities than it's attacker. Which is also handy when doing the one city challenge.
America's less upkeep for army cost and half gold land cost when buying tiles is very good too. And the minutemen are quick to produce and are fairly early to mid game if you rush a few things.
Heck, Nobunaga has that everyone fights at full strength even when outnumbered perk, which is also super handy. And early game samurai are a huge pain to deal with.
It was. With a DVD sized case and everything. I can take a picture of my physical PC copy if I really have to. And the expansion. I have them here at my desk.
It has it's own CD key on the back of the manual, and is not attached to steam, nor does it need a steam account. This was before they did that launcher thing a few years back.

Huh ... I'm not sure if I have a favorite. :)
Civ 5 was not available on physical media. I know because I bought was I thought was going to be a copy on DVD but it was just a wrapper for steam.

A physical copy is useless if you can't install and run it without being online and without signing into steam.
