I remember you commented on a review not to long ago and came to give you this message. the DLC for Civ: BE was a good improvment. I say its now, with DLC, a good starter Civ game to pull in new people to the game, but I still recommend Civ 5, with DLC. But if you dont want to buy DLC for any civ game, Civ 6 is the way to go. Between Civ 5 and Civ 6 (without DLC) Civ 6 is just a little more fun, because there is more to do in 6, than there is to do in civ 5 ..... No DLC.
Erase this message after your done reading, if you want.
