Great expansion for the main game.

Civilization is one of my all-time favorite games, and the leap from the fifth to the sixth game is epic. It offers new mechanics, tons of stuff to do and build and a fresh new look over the older games. There is some new and relaxing music, more factions and overall, it is a huge improvement over the previous game.

Sid Meier's Civilization VI: Rise & Fall adds a lot more leaders and factions to the game, each with their own unique skills and stories.They are all well balanced and fun to play. It also adds the new era score system.

The new era score system is a little confusing at first. As you go through the different eras of time, you can either get a dark age (pretty bad), normal age or a golden age. With a normal age, nothing changes, with a dark age, you get some penalties and with a golden age, you get some fat bonuses to give you an advantage. At first, I did not understand at all how this system worked, but after a while, it became clear that you needed to achieve eureka moments and build different building that you did not construct before. Things like discovering villages also helps.

This DLC is packed with content and worth the extra money.
