Now this is odd.
I just checked my DLC in Steam (rightmouseclick on Civ 5, then 'view downloadable content').
And I noticed among my DLC there was something that's called "Multiplayer Map Pack 1".

The weird thing is, of course, there is no DLC called anything like that.
The other weird thing is that I can't find the Explorers Map Pack, so I assume that's a different name for that DLC? Which doesn't make sense as the Explorers maps can't be used in multiplayer.

Or is it something else? Maybe it came with an update and added some maps which I just didn't notice weren't there before or something?
Also it implies there will be (at least) another map pack.

Does anyone know what's up with the Multiplayer Map Pack 1?
 
It´s the Explorers Map Pack and they can be used in Muktiplayer games. I´m not sure whether everybody has to own it for Multiplayer. But when you set up a game on pangea plus and load it up in the forum, everybody can open it, whether he purchased the maps or not.
So I guess for Multiplayer games only one member (the one who sets up the game) has to own the DLC.

I'm very certain you can't ;)
I do have Explorer, and just checked, trying to host Internet-, LAN- and Hotseat-games and they're only available in the latter.

But according to a similar topic I opened on the 2K-forums it's a little free DLC that adds Donut, Ancient Lake and Skirmish, and they were added in a patch during the Polynesia-release :)
 
Well, okay, I believe you as you´ve tested it...
But it didn´t add Donut. This belongs to the Explorer´s Maps Pack.

So this means the Maps Pack isn´t in the list? Doesnt´t it belong to DLC?
