For all those who are tempted by this, it is absolutely worth the extra to get the complete edition. The base Civ V game is a great game, but the two expansions turn it into one of the best strategy games ever made.

amazing price for great game

Bought this last week for £5. It was £20 on steam so I thought I got a bargain, but even at £20 it's a bargain. A must buy for any strategy fan

There are plenty of tweaks, but in terms of significant improvements you have ideologies, international trade, religion, world congress, espionage, and culture (which includes tourism, archaeology and great works). The biggest change to diplomacy is the world congress. When that is founded you have a system whereby a periodic intervals all nations vote on particular policies, restrictions or embargos, which can really affect the dynamic of an individual game and gives a new dimension to diplomacy.

It is worth noting that if you really didn't enjoy the base game, it may be that the expansions still aren't enough to change your mind. For me Civ V was a return to form for the series in terms of the balance between accessibility and depth, and the great success of the expansions was to maintain that accessibility whilst adding a significant amount of depth. If you feel differently about the base game, it may be that you feel differently about the whole package as well, though frankly as a fan of the series I'd still recommend that you give it a shot.

Bargain. And it's actually perfectly playable on integrated intel graphics as well. The touch interface on it makes it a decent tablet game though it is still better with a mouse and keyboard.

The best CIV since CIV2
