Yes, the original is playable as a stand alone. This is all my own opinion of course, but I think the game is really incomplete without most if not all of the DLC. the world congress in this game is annoying as all ♥♥♥♥, I dunno why cos Civ V also had a congress but I don't remember if it pulled your arm and forced you into the congress screen with no way to close it until you vote on everything there. say goodbye to modern units that use resources like coal and oil or else risk losing chunks after chunks of territory to rising sea levels because somehow that one infantry you have (human infantry, not mechanized) is SOMEHOW consuming too much oil and contributing 50% to global warming and now everyone is denoucing you.Īlso. Rise and Fall adds a loyalty system that virtually castrates you from being aggressive with your expansion, I've played with this for a long time before I finally had it and just installed a mod to remove this stupic mechanic, it's just designed to punish you (and the AI on RARE occasions) if you get a little too creative. The same can't be said about the two bigger DLCs, Rise and Fall and Gathering Storm, they add mechanics that are fine but each of them have ONE major downside that basically make it so they're not worth getting. The smaller DLCs also add a few gimmicks that can be fun to play with. The base game is fine, it's Civ as it is meant to be.
