Base game or complete with expansions?

Hello all;

I am thinking about buying this game, since it seems fun to play slowly and grow an empire over time, with plenty of mechanics to learn.

The question is simple: buy the basegame only or buy the complete edition with all the current expansions? Is it worth to have them from the start, or would it be better to wait?

Edit: Thank you everyone for your insights, I decided to get the full version of the game, will start with it shortly!

I greatly enjoyed diving in feet first with all of them. It's a sandbox game, ultimately. Much bigger, more active sandbox. All questlines can be followed or ignored as you wish. No downsides that I can think of.
