If I want to play tall?

If I want to play tall in stead of only wide, what dlc would then be good to have?

all

Nope - too expensive!

Utopia and possibly Megacorps.

I'd say Utopia is a no-brainer because of megastructures (Habitats in particular) but it's also arguably the best DLC in general.
Megacorp would be my second pick, again because of the megastructures.

wait until federations comes out tomorrow, the rest of the dlc should go on sale

(edit)that and if you start a new game now your save will most likely break unless you rollback tomorrow's patch

[Totally Innocent Chatbot]

Utopia for megastructures, Synthetic Dawn for Machine Empires (who are getting reworked tomorrow to have extra penalties towards "wide" playstyle), maybe Megacorp for another "tall"-themed empire type as well as the new megastructure and Ecumenopolis it adds.

thanks - I'll watch out for those 3 dlc's.

Well Megacorp is ideal for tall playing.

1) City Planets
2) Megacorp Empires are built around trade branches.. where you don't need to expand on planets to continue to grow.

It's honestly the best for it, but you have to be down with not wanting to just take over the galaxy's systems.

To play REALLY REALLY tall you kind of need all of the main dlc + federations (comming tomorrow)

[Nightmyre]

Utopia and MegaCorps. Specifically, for RingWorld and Ecumenopolis. Synthetic Dawn if you feel like playing machine empires. Rest aren't too important for you.

That is terrible advice!

Apocalypse sorta fit wide play style mainly. Most content in Apocalypse DLC are great for taking territory. The only "tall" part of Apocalypse is Ion platform for defending and that it.

I will also back the following DLC for purchase: Synthetic dawn for machine, Utopia for ringworld/Habitat, Distinct Worlds for Relic world, and Megacorp for Megacorp Authority.

Utopia is a good suggestion, but I'm surprised no one has mentioned the Lithoid Species Pack. Lithoids have a species trait that gives huge habitability, so you would spend your administrative cap more on planet districts and less on systems. I recommend playing as a materialist with robo factory start to offset the low population growth if its your first time playing as them.
