I played a couple of the early ones, but it they don't appeal to me much either.

That's a very oblique thing to say!

I have plenty of other games to occupy my time and there are always counters to round  :P

I've bought every iteration of the Civ series, too, since Civ I, including both versions of Colonization. Never got Alpha Centauri, though I'd like to, eventually.

Civ VI is not an instant buy for me even under $20. The 60% range for review rating makes me so little skittish. Has the AI gotten any better? I'd heard it was awful, even for a Civ game.

I have no problem with the AI but I'm never good at these games. You should get Alpha Centauri. It's dated but to me it has the best AI diplomacy of any 4x game.

AC is on my GOG wishlist. I should have grabbed it last sale because it was only $4 or so. But even the last free GOG game I've not made time for. Yet.

So I’m going to just say that if you’re looking for a better, more advanced, more complicated Civ 6, then Gathering Storm is just fine.

$40 for that sounds good to me.

Fanatical has the Gold edition, which looks like everything except Gathering Storm for $25.  I'm just not sure, even at that price, that I really want it.
