Pay $15 or more for all of that plus Sid Meier's Civilization: Beyond Earth, Sid Meier's Civilization: Beyond Earth - Exoplanets Map Pack, and a coupon for 33% off Sid Meier's Civilization: Beyond Earth - Rising Tide DLC in the Humble Store.
Choose the price. Together, these games usually cost as much as $211. Here at Humble Bundle, though, you choose the price!

Very nice indeed - heat from me!
As always, if anyone has any spare keys, from this or elsewhere, donations for my weekly giveaway are always very welcome. :smiley:

Not sure if you know, but Enemy Within isn't a separate game, it just adds to the Enemy Unknown game and makes it much better. Fixes various problems, adds loads more maps (maps got very repetitive in EU), adds in a new chunk of storyline, and just generally adds some really cool stuff (turning solider into mechs, genetically modifying your soldiers, etc).
All in all, I would never play the original EU again. I always play it with the EW expansion as it makes the game so much better. So if you do seriously want to play the game, I would have to recommend playing with the EW expansion.

Meh. I guess I'm unexcited by this bundle because I already own most of it.
That said,
- $1 tier is certainly worth it, even for just one of the games in there.
- 2nd tier isn't that great. Civ5 is missing the vital expansions, Starships is crap, and while Civ4 complete is easily worth $6 it's frequently available for less. Enemy Within is a nice freebie I suppose.
- $15 tier is crap.

Damn that was fast.
Some good games in there. Heated!
Though I wonder if I can apply the 10% off the monthly bundle that I've already signed up to...

Well I'm pleasantly surprised by this bundle! When I got the email about it and it said Civilization and XCOM I thought 'Great, a whole bunch of games that I already have and have been bundled before,' but then it turned out that it has Beyond Earth and Starships, both of which I almost bought in the winter sale. It's just a shame that the keys aren't all separate (why, Humble Bundle, why?!) as I like to trade my spares, and also I bet I'm not eligible for the Monthly discount as they already suckered me into paying for Feb in advance to get Alien: Isolation.
I got Civ V from a previous Humble Bundle originally and that included Gods and Kings and Brave New World, so maybe they'll be the 'more games coming soon'. Are Beyond Earth and Starships really that bad? They both appeal to me because they're sci-fi, and Starships seems to be just the spaceship version of Ace Patrol, which I kind of enjoyed, and people seem to be saying that the Rising Tide expansion for Beyond Earth fixes a lot of problems with it, although it's pricey for an expansion and you shouldn't have to pay extra for things that should have been in the game in the first place.
If you bought through Steam you should be able to get a refund for it and then you can rebuy it from the bundle, if that works out cheaper/better for you.
Yeah, it was CVG's Golden Joystick Awards. They've given out free games for voting in them a few times - it was XCOM in 2014 and actually in 2013 it was a choice of Civ V or Mafia II.
And you should definitely get Enemy Within - it's not so much an expansion, it's a whole load of additional features for EU that greatly enhances the game. You wouldn't want to play EU without it once you've got it, although you could always disable it if you wanted to see what the game was originally like.
Beyond Earth is considered the spiritual successor to Alpha Centauri and some of the same people worked on it so I'd say it sounds like your kind of thing. From looking at the reviews on Steam, though, it seems like it's not worth getting without the expansion as that fixes/adds a lot of things. I really wish Alpha Centauri was on Steam though as I'd love to add that to my library! (It is on GoG, in case you didn't already know.)

Enemy Unknown was free at one point wasn't it?
Just Enemy Within I need, have all the rest or not interested. Haven't even started EU yet, so no rush for me. Heat for humble though.

Yeah, if I remember correctly it was given away if you voted in some kind of game awards or something.

Already got the blessed lot, so a pass from me, but great value if you have none of them.
