its a good addition for the civ family. while i was a bit sceptical about the sutrvivability of it and the new look,i honestly feel like its actualy better than civ V,graphics wise atlease(of course,i cant play the game without a ♥♥♥♥ ton of lag without graphics on the lowest non-stagnent setting,and the leaders' hair usualy looks pretty wierd,especialy Jadwiga's). i feel like a few of the DLC coulda been grouped up together(the Viking DLC and Poland;Austrailia with the Khemer-Indonesia dlc;Nubia with the Alex 'i hate you because you just wrapped up a war and hate you more because you took them over completly' ander and Cyrus) and sold at a slightly less irkish price,and that most of the time the leaders are more or less predictable(Teddy likes me almost always,Gilgamesh loves teaming up aganst litteraly anybody,China's leader hates you regardless) and in some cases straight up lie to you (Alexander hates you when you're not at war,then basicly waits until you're done with a long war to tell you 'you're not at war! why you no fight for people!';Ghandi hates warmongoes,then declares war on you himself when you repel sombody trying to invade you). i have a list of things that could probobly make the game not as,well,predictable and such.
-more random adgendas
-war penalties -65% for being declared war upon
-Cartography not able to be rushed to from the classical era
-no dead end techs(the TECH tree,not CIVIC tree)
-Aquaduct provides food aside from the housing+water bonus,and has a building or two to make it not essentialy dead land

finnaly,the thing i think is most important-MORE DAMN LEADERS TO THE CIVS THAT STILL EXIST.
they kinda promised to have civilizations with multiple leaders,and so far the only non-modded ones are Gorgo and Perciles,and both of them,frankly,suck.

but ignoring all of that,this is a fairly nice,polished,playable game. hopefuly it gets some good expantion packs with new concepts and such(like what G+K-religion- and BNW-espionage+ideology+trade routes- did for civ V) soon,and more than Beyond Earth did.

EDIT:
ok. so,i played it after i got the new DLC and update.
-i can no longer send delgates and embasies to other civs.
-i can no longer ask for trade or denounce other civs.
-the AI tend to denounce everybody in the first 30 turns of meeting.
-the AI will not build religious units.
-the AI,when on a coastal start,will CONSTANTLY SPAM SHIPS.
-the new wonder(Ankor Wat) crashes my game when i build it next to water.

now,i like civ and all...
...but when you introduce new stuff in a DLC(and sequel for the matter!),the newest update should NOT make the game less playable. im just glad there arnt any more probolems with it,and i hope that Firaxix/2K/whoever can fix these problems asap.
