Huge Civ fan thinking of picking this up on pay day. Is it any good?

No. Stick with Civ V.

What if I already like Beyond Earth is it a good expansion for it?

If you already like Beyond Earth then you will enjoy Rising Tide, yes.

The new diplomacy system is pretty easy to understand and opens up a lot of different gameplay possibilities. I do criticize it for being a bit shallow and making war (surrendering) somewhat unfeasible at the moment, but it's something fresh at least.

The new units are all pretty fun and vary drastically from one another as well. Aquatic cities are easy to use and keep things fresh as well. I have no complaints here, really.

The early/mid game has been entirely revamped due to the presence of artifacts, giving new importance to exploration, so that's something too. There are also new quests that are triggered by certain unique structures that involve scavenger hunting to complete for a certain bonus. Those are nice too, I guess.

The new sponsors are a bit boring, though, and some of them are very unbalanced. The German one standing out as being quite ridiculous late game.

Being very tolerant makes you the winner!

Is that true that hipster coffee machines are archaeological relics?

Then you are a pleb and will probably enjoy it as well

Sure. I still want an insect civ. Controlling native fliers gave me a huge boner

It's funny because Hyena boy kicks Terry's ass in every scene.
