Think it was gathering storm.
Ah cheers.
Believe it or not I'm starting to play this game properly now since buying it many years ago.
Am I best off playing this game vanilla to get me started....
Or should I get the expansions?
Also is it me or does the game crash quite often whenever you try to alt tab out or "alt-enter"?

Definitely play with expansions if you can, if not for the new content, then definitely for the quality-of-life improvements, stability/bug fixes, and balance changes.
The game does crash quite often for me when I alt-tab out, but only when I'm using DirectX 12; if you're on 12, try using 11 instead and that should help.

I never have an alt tab crash, think I only have directx 11, not sure it’s just a dell laptop.
I started with vanilla and quickly found that I got the expansions as they do add so much.
I would also recommend looking at the mods in the steam workshop there are some very good UI mods that just make information that’s available more easily accessible or obvious.

I believe I am borderless full screen but not at my pc to check. I have all DLC.
Man... this game is so overwhelming compared to the days of Civ 1-4.... so many facets to consider now.... I have no idea sometimes where to start or what decision to make when building and for what type of resource...
So many questions!
Incidentally why would a civ want to trade a great work with me which are both exhbiting the same attributes? Whats the advantage?

You will want to match certain criteria of great works to get bonuses. If you look at the great works UI it will show what you want to look out for. Things like 'pictures of the same type from different artists'.
I actually find Civ6 not as complex as Civ 4 but I think that's just purely due to Civ4s AI being far better so I needed to think more.

The only time I've had crashing in civ6 was when I was running a slightly unstable cpu clock. Civ6 is a surprisingly good stability test.

I’m fully expansioned up. Not sure what screen format I use I just know the game is always the main focus unless I specifically tab to something else.
for great works to maximise tourism and culture you want to theme them so religious with religious, sculpture with sculpture etc. But each of the 3 items has to be from a different artist.
Then for artefacts you want three from the same era and from different Civs or city states/barns.
if going culture normally a 70/30 art to archeological museum ratio is a good point.

Cheers to you and newboy for the info.
Wierld, aside from 1 crash.... Im now able to alt tab out of Civ (Fullscreen) and no errors/crashes...
Genuinely dont get it....
I swear you could be speaking about any game about the above and I wouldnt know it!
You lost me from "But each of the ....".

Thanks for your help folks.
So if I went for gathering storms I would get everything from this and Rise and fall save for the leaders and new cigs in rise and fall?
Also GS is on for 16.99 at cdkeys as a Eu version. Any problem with this?

never had a crash either with all expansions and I only have 8gb ram.
I can't remember what map size I play something like standard? but I use a mod version of a map that lets you just chuck as many AI civs in as I like so I'm sure it's still a strain and memory hog
full citiy states full, civs, use a mod so they can't build cities so close to each other
fun times seeing who will survive.
even the city states have a decent chance to survive because with as many ai civs as you can there's only really space for everyone to make 1-3 cities before the map is full with the mod so they cant plop a city down on top of someone elses
