This is on sale on Steam until Feb 1.  Cheap enough I'm going to try it out.

So any thoughts on whether or not The Rising Tide DLC "fixed" the game? That and the Exoplanet pack are on sale for thirty dollars including the base game.

I so much want to buy this and like it, but I'm going to be disappointed aren't I?

Yes

Reading the pages of gameplay in this thread and remembering the reviews last year, you'd be disappointed at $5. It's just not good.

If you own CiV V there's just no reason to get this.
On paper there's a few improvements that could have been cool, but in practice it's just not better in any way and the space flavour is still about as bland as a rice cracker.
I went back to the occasional CiV V/VI game when that itch needs to be scratched.

A lot of folks say the expansion actually fucked up some things worse--pretty much anything that got better, something else got broke.

Yay, this thread saved me some money!
