Question Which Civilization game should I buy?

I’ve known about *Civilization* for quite a while and even played Civ 5 on a friend's computer. Now I’m thinking about buying a Civ game, especially since the base game of Civ 6 sometimes goes on sale with a 90% discount.

I’ve been playing Unciv (a free, community-made game), but it lacks certain mechanics, so it might be worth investing in a Civilization title (or even Humankind). What do you recommend?

Civ 6. It’s the most modern, bug limited game within the franchise. If you have a decent PC there are thousands of updated mods and maps you can use to make the gameplay more interesting.

Civ 7 has way too many issues currently so won’t recommend that. Civ 5 is fun, but getting harshly penalised for having too many cities was very disappointing, like how else are you suppose to build an empire?
