I used the recent Steam sale to grab Civ 5 from recommendations here!

You all were right. It's great! I definitely like it more than Civ 6.

Only Civ you'll need for a long time, possibly ever. Already great out of the box (assuming you got all the expansions), and after a few hundred hours you got tons of mods to spice it up too.

A friend of mine recently hit 3k hours in Civ5, which I thought was pretty impressive, until I realized he’s almost at 12k hours in EU4, and now I’m worried for his sanity.

I did grab the expansions, hard not to with how cheap they were on sale!

Good, I wasn't sure whether they came bundled or not but just making sure since they're pretty crucial. Enjoy!
