A shame you didn’t get Civ 6 when it was free.
I did get the base game when it was free but didn’t play it. I saw the DLCs were on sale and decided to go all in on it.
I’m a Civ 6 degen if you have any questions. I guess I should go ahead and buy the final expansion.
Which one? I bought the Civ 6 Platinum Edition that had the Rise and Fall and Natural Disasters expansions and a few scenarios and civs. There’s the season pass that I didn’t get because it was a lot of what looked like a bunch of civs as best as I could tell
I have Rise and Fall. Never bought Gathering Storm. Also haven’t bought this new season pass thing. I can win basically any start with any leader on Immortal on R&F. I like to play while I rewatch tv series on my iPad.
My last time playing Civ was Civ 2 and a bit of Civ 3. I miss the build anywhere ethos of two. Really did feel like a civilization when you’re setting priorities for a hundred cities or so. But I can imagine most people found it really tedious
I feel like I’m falling behind pretty early in the game though. I usually build two or three cities but with so many new options I’m still a bit confused on the way to go. Built tall with my cities, using districts though I haven’t figured out what they exactly do or go wide or build a military. Not quit sure just yet.
Wide is pretty much the only way to play Civ 6.
What difficulty are you playing on? I’d start pretty low to get a feel for the AI and power curves. I typically go 3-4X slinger to start and beeline archery to upgrade them. But on Immortal, barbarians are pretty widespread and the AI civs will declare war early and often.
There are some great tutorials and playthroughs on YouTube.
I finally bought Gathering Storm. With the current sale, I was able to get if for $10 - it’s cheaper to buy it through the bundle if you already own everything else in the bundle.
Ok I’ll do that today. I kinda hate having to learn the new nuances because I’m so comfortable with my ability in R&F. I don’t really play the game to be challenged. Just something to do while I rewatch Mad Men for the tenth time. It’s why I play immortal instead of deity. I can win on deity, but it’s not really fun and requires too much attention.

Yeah - deity requires you to really plan your cities well to make up for AI advantage.
Have just played a bit with GS and so far doesn’t seem huge overhaul to strategy. Natural disasters seems fun. Haven’t done anything with diplomacy yet, but from reviews I’ve seen you can mostly ignore it and it seems like everyone hats diplomatic victories.
I’ll let you know my impressions after I download it today. Have you played much Civ 6 already?
348 hours according to Steam.
Define “much”
OW mystery heroes is my jam. I’m terrible somehow (and TBH I’m not totally sure why), but still enjoy it. This is my mystery heroes summary… I’m not sure what to make of it. I’m good at… not dying? If so why is hanzo and zen up there? 
First game was pretty easy. Disasters are kind of annoying. World Congress is bad. The power plant concept is interesting. Cost me like $13 to upgrade so meh.
Agree on World Congress. I like the disasters as you need to think a bit whether to settle near a volcano, flood zone, etc.
The Maori seem quite fun so far, but might be a bit OP - especially if you play on an island map. They are definitely the most unique Civ as they start in the Ocean and can’t harvest and get bonuses from woods, so you shouldn’t really chop.
Do you play on standard speed? I almost never finish a game as I find the end-game pretty boring once I get too far ahead of everyone so no challenge. I usually quit when I’m making twice as much science per turn as the AI.
Is civ 6 is actually good now? At release seemed like a giant step back from civ 5 (which itself was worse than civ 4).
I think it’s better than V but worse than IV.
Multiplayer seems to suck pretty bad - used to love playing multiplayer in IV but have never got into it for VI.
