It's going to suck, no question about it.
I was dumb enough to pay full price for Civ VI shortly after launch, and because exploring a 4x strategy game takes longer than 2 hours, that's $60 I'm never getting back. It was inferior to Civ V (talking base game to base game here, let alone the DLC) by every measure.
If you don't already have Civ V with the Brave New World expansion, I suggest taking a look at FreeCiv (an open source game based more on Civ II and Civ III than anything that came after, in active development since 1996, with the option for both desktop install and playing from the browser).
Edit: Or if you are willing to put in the effort, try to get Civilization II: Test of Time installed and working alongside the ToT Patch Project.
