A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

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!
