All of them. Seriously. I find it impossible to play without the DLCs now.
If you don't want the extra civs which are dirt cheap, Brave New World and Gods and Kings are a must.

I totally agree!

[BFEL]

The Fritz is correct.

[Mephansteras]

The map packs are totally optional, but I definitely prefer to play with everything.

[Sonlirain]

Brave new world and Gods and Kings add so much that the base game feels almost like a demo.
Seriously now...

[Leafsnail]

IIRC the Complete Edition is cheaper than buying G&K/BNW individually anyway.

So I really wanted to play as the Iroquois, but apparently forests need to be in friendly territory to count as roads for connections. What the hell is up with that? Are there any mods which make all forests count as roads at least for connections for Iroquois? It's not even worth the gold of buying tiles to connect cities via forest in the new world scenario since it's only 150 turns.

They are counted as roads... You only get road movement bonus from roads in your territory.

[Rakonas]

Nope, they aren't. I had two cities which had a line of forests connecting them with no connection bonus. When I bought the tiles the forests were on they got the connection bonus.

[bulborbish]

Rak, roads only give a benefit WHEN THEY ARE IN ALLIED TERRITORY.

And to be honest, they already have the benefit of Ironless Swordsmen. I really don't want to deal with their Forest Highways as well unless I am attacking them.

[Rakonas]

That's not really true. That would mean that if you had two cities 8 tiles away they could never be connected by road. Roads work just fine at connecting cities when they pass through neutral ground. The benefit would be trivial really since it wouldn't help movement, just a few gold a turn, it would just make more sense.

The ironless swords aren't nearly as good in G+K or BNW.  Ranged units are just stronger comparitivly, and with iron being revealed at bronze workering, it's not as much as a boon.

so i'm going for a cultural victory therefore i'm throwing culture left and right

Spoiler: and i just built the kremlin (click to show/hide)

game stuck send locksmith

[jhxmt]

Does it seriously get stuck if you manage to achieve that (monstrously impressive) level of culture?   

[LordSlowpoke]

it takes a lot of gold-related shenanigans but you too can techrush to the point where you can just afford to build every single wonder available and it snowballs from there really (i mean, throwing gold at cultural city-states during said gold-related shenanigans is no problem)

and yes, you can't shift+enter out of this for some reason, gotta pick a policy yo
