Stick to Civ 5 for now.  If you mainly play single player Civ 6 has even worse AI.  They will annoy every turn.  They will talk shit for no reason or even praise you nonstop.  They will ask for resources constantly and even questionable requests like asking for horses in the industrial and modern era.  Basically you will want to declare war on them just to shut them up.  Don't get me started on the world congress either.  Civ 5 least had some stuff you cared about voting.  Now you'll be forced to vote on a bunch of shit you don't even care about constantly.

Some of the new ideas for 6 are kind of neat but overall its like they dumbed it down yet made it unnecessary complicated with a bunch of shit you don't care about. 

Yeah, I've tried Civ VI thanks to one of those free to try weekends, and it didn't feel as polished as Civ V. It's one of the reasons to wait for the GOTY edition, to give them time to balance and fix all that doesn't work.

Yea they have a bad habit of releasing base game with features missing from previous entries and then releasing those features on expansions.  The people that bought game when it first came out got screwed for the dlc.  One of top reasons why so many people on steam gave it negative review.  I got the Gold Edition or whatever that included most of the reg dlc and first expansion I believe.  My friend then gifted me the gathering storm dlc. 

Religion is even more annoying now (with a bunch of stupid religious units that the computer loves to spam and if like me just don't really give a shit about religion even though cared about it a little with Civ5 because not so many damn religious units/easier) and not sure if I ever want to go for that victory.  Usually I just play domination games and have all other victory conditions unmarked (unless I just go for the one time achievement of that victory).  Was going for a culture victory in my current game but it might just end up being a domination.

Funny thing about gathering storm is that natural disasters so far in my first few games are a non factor.  It will warn you which tiles will likely flood first (coastal tiles) and the disasters that do happen barely affect shit.  I think the worse I saw was volcano but that was near a cpu city and didn't affect me.  Then you have bs sandstorms and other disasters that don't really appear to do shit.

Basically wait for the GOTY edition which will probably release end of this year or early next year.  Speaking of Xcom2 that you mentioned earlier.  Need to get on that...  I enjoyed Enemy Unknown a lot.
