so many essential DLCs. The bait and switch disgusts me. I have better things to spend my time and money on than this game.

Any recommendations on which DLCs to get?

Was free on Epic awhile back, check to make sure you didn't get it there already

Sadly that version doesn’t work well on steamdeck.

I think there are work around to get it working, but with my regional pricing it was just like $2, so I just grabbed it.

Not surprised since this came out recently.

I heard a lot of heavy Civ IV and V players criticize VI as being worse than those two (especially with mods), what is the general opinion on this?

IMO 5 > 6 > 4

But it's been ages since I played 4. I remember it being pretty good. Maybe if I played both 6 and 4 again I would come out with a different ranking. But 5 reigns supreme. The mechanics are just so much tighter and more interesting.

For what? IV and VI have a lot going for them. V is total trash.

Civ V was the first one I played. I could not get into 6

I've been playing Civ 6, with and without the mods. Custom Leaders and many combinations of mods tend to make the game desync after 100 turns on quick speed, but I enjoy it.

I've enjoyed civ 5 too but just haven't played as much I guess. The DLC being so numerous, my rating of Civ 6 against 5 would depend on which "edition" you have. It bugs me that it doesn't show which civs you didn't own don't appear until after you select them in the menu.

5 is simpler, but still with a lot of depth and a high skill ceiling. 6 just added more systems without much rhyme or reason. That's what I felt anyway, I also massively preferred 5's art style.

That's probably the best way to put it without writing an essay. 5 is intentional with mechanics, new ones become available as older ones become automated or less relevant. 6 is just a constant barrage of things happening, especially with gathering storm.

Civ IV is the GOAT.

Honestly, after playing some of Paradox's Grand Strategy games I prefer those. It's not a fair comparison since they're so wildly different though. I love Crusader Kings 3. The way you're playing a very specific person as opposed to your empire in an abstract sense is very fascinating to me.
