Great video, thanks. My recommendation for new players is to fumble your way through a first game and accept that mistakes will be made. Then come to these tutorials where everything said makes perfect sense as you can relate it to that first practice game.
Agreed. It is the human condition after all to play with one's toys before reading the instructions 😂
This is exactly what I’m doing lol
@@freddietapia6751 me Too freddie
That's what I've done only ever played civ rev started as England's on a real world huge map not much space to build tho until I colonized America
@@mattsmith5421 You're right. England is a slow burner at the beginning, but all fun and games later! I usually try for Western Africa, then Americas.
Civ does slingers dirty. They were an elite unit on the ancient battlefield. Seriously read up on it, they were devastating. Goliath was the underdog, not David.
I'd love to see a tutorial focused on early game use of Governors. This has been very helpful though.
Governor Tutorial is on the list, but I like the idea of ‘early game use’ focus. That will definitely be something I make sure to include! Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching! Also, ‘Even More’ Basics hit the shelves about 8 hours ago! 😉
Gonna have to put this playlist on repeat over night so you can get that sweet sweet yt premium money, as a thanks for the awesome tutorial!
That's Awesome! Happy you enjoyed the tutorials and thanks so much for the support! You could make it part of your nightly routine before bed...brush teeth, set The Basics series to repeat, etc... LOL
I’m glad you made a part 2. You answered more of my questions. I hope you continue to do more basic tutorials for the original game. The slow pace is really informative. You really take the time to explain the basics. Thank you 😊
Don't miss out on the third part of this Basics Trilogy: EVEN MORE BASICS!!
Really glad you enjoyed, thanks for watching and dropping in with the positivity!
''Id like to send you a war delegation.'' sounds like something Shaka would say, as my first neighbor... Great guides on the game, hope your channel grows fast!
Great tutorial for beginners. I've been making so many mistakes. 😆 I definitely have a better understanding of the game now that I have watched your beginner tutorials. Thank you.
Glad to hear it!
Another very useful tutorial and much needed. You're particularly good at describing the games complexities in an easy-to-understand manner for us Civ 6 newbies - such as yours truly. Hope you keep churning them out!
Thanks so much Tim! Stay tuned for more tutorials, they are in the works!
The Canadian accent is so adorable. Our and Are sound the same, but Hour sounds completely different. Love it!
Maybe a bit late to the Civ 6 party but this game is amazing. I played through a couple of games to familiarize myself with some concepts and then came to your awesome tutorials! They are simply amazing. Thank you.
Really love your tutorials! Spent a day on the game and got a little frustrated but here you manage to explain the game mechanics really well. The in game tutorial is quite awful honestly compared to this. Trying my hardest to finish your videos first before going back to the game 😄
Another great tutorial! I always learn something new to apply to my games. Thanks! :D
So far these videos have been a great help. God job sir.
I've watched the first episode of the series and just finished this one. Learnt a lot of the basics and some handy tips to maximise my resources. Thanks a lot! On to the third one...:)
Loving this series! I've tried *so* many times to get into Civ 6 but keep getting confused and overwhelmed, so hopefully now I can stop missing out.
Many thanks. I only started playing this game this week and it is a lot of fun but this really helps to make some better decisions. Great video and looking forward to learning more!!
So glad i found your channel. Im about to binge watch all your videos lol no tutorial has helped me learn this game so well. I gave up on it for a long time but now i think i have a much clearer understanding.
Thanks for breaking this game down Barnie style. I was definitely overwhelmed, but you did an amazing job of explaining.
Great to hear! Barnie style, I like that, that ones a first! Cudos.
Almost as long as a full game of civ but really, really helpful thanks :) Nice to have someone hash out all the things that I overlooked.
Thank you so much for your videos/tutorial. You do an excellent job. With that being said, I find Civilization to be an extremely difficult/steep learning curve for newbies. The developers need to really focus on a much more in depth/hands on tutorial. I’ve found myself going halfway through the game then giving up due to: what should I build/where should I build it, should I go to war/or not, how do I win this?, and just overall frustration on what to do. It’s a beautiful and extremely detailed game, but it’s far too arduous and time consuming for a casual gamer. I had to give it up and walk away from the game as a result of exhaustion and simply not having fun.
That's a problem with strategy games in general. In my experience, the Civilization games are some of the simplest. Grand strategy games, e.g., most Paradox games, leave me scratching my head.
Thank you for the video. You have great communication skills and a good level of humility - I like that!
I've really learned a lot and it made the game enjoyable. Greatly appreciate this tutorial and your insights.
This is one of the best tutorials I found, is there any chance you'll do more on other topics? For example I'd love to learn more about:
- Power
- Optimal district placement
- Growing big big cities
- Sieging cities
Thank you for this clip!
Thanks for the Civ videos. Great & easy to understand content!
I would say I’m an intermediate player but these tutorials are pretty helpful! Very well explained and I got some really good tips. Keep up the good work! 👍🏻
I was like, im not gonna see a 55 min video that's for sure... But i watched the whole thing, such a amazing job explaining everything! Going to see your next tutorial video before starting my civ adventure :D
Thank you so much. Struggled so badly in my first couple of games of Civ 6. After watching this videos I've now gone and won my next game (culture victory, and also ahead on Science as well). Great advice
I started playing Civ games back with Call to Power. Hadn't played in a while so I came here to get a better understanding of 6. Very helpful thank you for the information
Started Christmas with civ vi on console. These videos are a big help. There is a lot to learn. And too much to tweak. For inexperienced players.
Hi! I just wanted to say thank you for this series. I just bought this game again after not playing for a few years and I was so frustrated that it didn't feel as fun as I remembered. After watching these I'm having fun playing again!! Thank you so much for taking the time to help beginners!
You're most welcome, indeed! There is no bigger compliment I could receive than to hear I've helped someone enjoy this fantastic game, so thank you for taking the time to drop a comment. It made my day! :) I hope the fun continues for countless hours to come!
Excellent tutorial Norm. Very helpful!
Happy it helped, Tim! Thanks for watching.
Thank you so much for taking the time to make these. A lot of us really appreciate you :D
Very kind of you to say, thank you!
The tutorials have been a huge help, thanks!
Love to hear it! Always happy to help! Thanks for watching!
Nice set of videos. You are easy to listen to and understand. No trashy, jive talk and commercialization of the game. Thanks.
This series is awesome. Thank you so much, man!
Thank you, Kenneth! Really happy you're enjoying it, I hope its helping you step up your Civilization skills and enjoy the game even more. Thanks for Watching!
XD I was waiting all video for the continuation of the war with Russia! Glad you got back to that :P
I was being a bit of a tease there. 😉
I just brought the whole lot but I am stuck watching this :p great tutorial. Lots of stuff I did not know about :)
Great guide! Very informative and very well done 👍
I've tried getting into Civ 6 two times in the past and failed miserably as I never knew what to do and what exactly was going on. After watching your two tutorial videos I'm feeling a lot more confident. Starting a new game now. Thanks!
Love to hear this!
Brand new to the game and I have to say this was extremely helpful. I've been doing decent so far but I definitely was missing a few of the nuances you explained in this video.
Just got this game recently and these tutorials has been super helpful. Keep up the good work!
Really happy to hear from another satisfied customer! This trilogy was a lot of fun to make and I was so happy with the final result. I really hope to make the time to put together more tutorials very soon!
Thank you for these videos. I went from not enjoying or understanding this game to really having a great time with it, thanks again!
So glad to hear it! Always wonderful to hear from satisfied viewers who are enjoying this wonderful game thanks to these tutorials. Thanks for taking the time to drop a comment!
Just starting to play with my friends. The last video and this one are so valuable to understanding the game. Really great work on these. Incredible resources for new players.
So glad they helped, great to get positive feedback on this series!
These are excellent! best videos I have found. Thank you!
No matter how many times I hear this it never gets old! Thanks for taking the time to share the feedback.
Thank you for this tutorial it was really helpful Subscribed!
One of the best tutorials out there👍 on to the next!
Thanks for the kind words Bud! Glad you’re enjoying!!
Another great tutorial!
One more to go!! 😉
Learnt so much watching these videos. Thank you :)
Happy to hear it!
Great work!
Great video again.Many useful info shown.I feel more ready to begin civ 6.Enough with Civ Rev although I love it for faster games.
One more to go! Really happy they’re helping prepare you!
Thank you! well deserved subscription.
You deserve way more views, great tutorial!
Thank you for saying that! I’ve been getting a really great response from this tutorial trilogy and it really means a lot to hear the positive feedback! Here’s hoping the RUclips gods are listening.
@@Normul8or Well, i wish you the best! :D
Great tutorial, you left me with a itch to play rn. Although I think I'll actually watch the next
Watching the next was a good call! ;) Might as well completely the trilogy!! I'm glad you enjoyed and thanks for the feedback!! :)
I'm a huge fan of the Civilization series and just now bought this game. The in-game tutorial was trash, you explained everything SO MUCH BETTER. Thank you!!
So happy to hear from another satisified customer!! Good luck with your future Civilizing!!
@@Normul8or Thank you so much, you rock 🎸 😄
yeah i played the in game tutorial. it taught me nothing and dragged on for 150 turns, it wasn't even fun. however this kept my interest and was enjoyable
I find it weird this doesnt have more views, it is popular game and not very easy one. I find these vids very useful.
I’m really glad you found the series so helpful! This series has been getting more popular with the RUclips algorithm over time and the views have been accelerating, so here is hoping things continue to look up!
Thanks for watching and taking the time to drop some kind words!
My friend got me into this game this past week and I am frickin addicted already, despite not knowing a single thing about it. I'm hyped to actually have a competitive game with him after watching your tutorials :)
Kick some butt! Thanks for watching.
@@Normul8or turns out he's mostly played civ 5 for years and hadn't actually played 6 more than a couple times so I am kicking his butt about 100 turns into the game we've got going on, so thank you for the knowledge! I feel like your content is incredibly well made and you are a super good teacher and I am really appreciating it
This was helpful thanks
great tutorial!
Thanks so much for watching!
Just got the platinum bundle on sale for Switch. This tutorial is behind helpful lol
Thank you!
being a while now, but this was a very clear tutorial, many thanks from holland, subs and like
Best tutorial for civ
As a noob your the best I’ve found at explaining the game to noobs
Very much appreciated, thanks for taking the time to drop a comment and say so!
Thank you for making this game easier to figure out. I would have pitched it
Means a lot to me to know that I was able to help you get into this fantastic game. Would make me sad to think you pitched it out of frustration. It can be a tough game to get into, but once you're in you're hooked for life! ;)
This is going to sound super random, but I’ve been watching these videos a lot and I swear I heard your voice talking behind me at a Steelheads game on Friday 😂
Wasn’t me. 😅
You are the man!
Thank you.
Great videos!
Thanks, Adam! They continue to draw great reaction and it feelsgoodman! Cheers for watching!!
great video even for intermediate players...still picked up a few tips!
So happy to hear so many people are getting value from this series of tutorials! I had a lot of fun making them and knowing it's helping others is great! Thanks for watching!
Hey, watched a lot of your videos. Thank you. I have played a couple of games only and not won any but that's OK 😄. Can't figure out how to buy units or buildings with gold. Can you advise please. BTW I'm using a switch. Would love to see tutorials for civ 6 on switch if you have one. All the best from the UK. Jo. X
I bought the game because it was $3 on a Steam sale. It was interesting to me and BOY could it burn some time away. I swear the clock moves 10x as fast when I'm playing. That said, the game does NOT explain much of anything very well and this and the first video has helped immensely and taught me things I never even knew just from experimenting. That said, I have dominated every game I've played in the War category. Now though, I may actually win in other ways. Although my first and only true win to date was actually a Science win. Go figure. Time to get the rest.
Sounds like you’re hooked! Glad you’re enjoying, and happy I could help.
In the same boat as you. I got it on Xbox last year and couldn't get into it. Thought i would give it another go but this time on Playstation. Picked it up for £3. The in game tutorial tells you HOW to do things but does a very poor job at explaining WHY. This tutorial and another one I watched on RUclips are FAR FAR more helpful
Very easy to understand explanations. Me thinks you might be a teacher or professor as a side gig!
Civ 5 was much easier, but everyone was telling me about this game. So I got it plus all the DLC's
Great, detailed content my guy. What difficulty are these tutorial games btw?
I played this trilogy of basic tutorials on Prince difficulty. Really glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching!
brilliant tutorials. apparently, you can only have one unit defending a city.
It sounds like Neil Degrasse Tyson is teaching me how to play civ. Complete with the pause followed by the “….. okay.”
I hear this so often, really enjoy the compliment as I'm a big fan! Maybe I should make more attempts to emulate his speech patterns. Maybe I can be come famous as THAT guy! :D
like the first tutorial this one is golden!!!Played a game on the easiest difficulty before watching this one on to the next!!!Do you recommend the 2 DLC?? They are never on sale and 100$ is a lot lol
Thanks so much for the positive feedback, it means a lot! The DLC add a tremendous amount of depth to the gameplay but are indeed very expensive at regular price! They do go on sale for around half off from time to time so keep your eyes open. My twitter and Discord update ongoing sales if you’re into either of those. Cheers for watching!
@@Normul8or well i did it anyway LOL what can i say i'm an impulse buyer....what a change to the game!! it's a new beginning...again...lol
Fantastic, glad you won the war
I’ve used Trajan several times now as recommended. I understand a lot more after a couple of full playthroughs. I am nowhere near prepared to face the advanced difficulties.
Unfortunately most posts are including update and I got the game for sale without update
Yeah, I purposely made this trilogy vanilla friendly so that everyone could get maximum value from it without having to have all the expansions. Glad it is helping!
You should do one for the world Congress & disasters please.
i've got a question, how do you know the growth rate of your city? and what is the food for specifically? thanks for the videos mate helped a ton already!
Check out the ingame tutorial (it is one of the few things it actually brings up) or read the Civilopedia ingame on the top right corner. Its faster than I could explain to you :)
My best advice: Take the time to READ everything, the rules are there you just have to read and read a lot, be patient.
While it helps to discuss decisions you're making on the fly, there is no talk of mechanics. For example, you discuss invading a city without explaining how that works. Do defenders get a buff being in a city, is it like CIV III where an unprotected city can be walked into and taken, does a city always fight back even with no military units, given all that how do city sieges typically work (e.g. how many of what unit types do you typically need and does it change by era when walls start coming up or whatever else [hard for me to describe as city battle mechanics are a blind spot for me having only played 1 game of Civilization 6 with very little war so far partly due to my ignorance of the mechanics). Do trade routes accrue their benefit in both cities, does it only apply to one city, does it apply per turn or only when they get there? What are city states and envoys? Do these states side with certain civilizations and how does that work?
Or in this video and the second, I have very little idea of how districts work. Do you want an even mixture of all districts in every city, do you play it by ear based on which districts do best in a city perhaps not even getting others or do you always get all districts, what happens to the resources of a tile when you build a district, do you always build districts or are there cases where whatever happens to a tile means you should sometimes prefer that tile over a district? I can intuit you might focus more heavily on certain districts based on your goals, but I have no bearing on whether you'd like to get every district to some capacity to have a functioning city or how to decide whether to change the tile by building one however it changes it. As another example, when you discussed that mountains give +1 to science being near a campus, it would have been educational to mention all the other benefits of all the other districts as that was a point to neatly package all that information.
The tutorial is better than nothing and better than the awful in-game tutorial that taught about nothing at all, but I'd recommend more summaries of mechanics with a little deeper discussion at points in the dialogue. My guess is you either thought it would overwhelm or perhaps you overlooked these opportunities, taking for granted your seasoned expertise with the game. When a person joins a new coding team, it's quite beneficial for them to critique the onboarding process since it's for them... new eyes... and stuff can be taken for granted, so this is a common problem in pedagogy.
Many of the things you requested here are covered in part 3 I believe. As far as talk about strategy I do have other tutorials that go more in depth, but I wanted this Basics series to stick to just facts about the functionality of the game.
Would you recommend taking out a city state early in the game if possible to expand your borders or are the city states more valuable intact?
I'm not sure I've ever put 70 hours into a game only to feel like I still have no idea what I'm doing.
I hope these videos are helping you get on the path to enjoying this wonderful game!
how do you know if you're "working" the tiles or not? I don't fully understand how production is gained
bro, i confuse, i already got oil and coal......per turn I get 70 + oil and coal I get +18 per turn.....but how come there's no getting it and it says - for power ...... what does this mean and how do you keep it + the oil and coal ? thankyou man
28:39 to 31:58 i play on switch and the policy slots for autocracy and oligarchy are switched so oligarchy has two military policy slots and autocracy has one. but nothing else changes. so how would your opinion change with that in mind?
Yeah, they messed around with the policies for different governments since I made this series. Generally speaking more economic and wild card slots are better than others unless at war. 👍
As someone who barely started, should I play with vanilla, Rise and Fall, or Gathering Storm rules?
My suggestion would be to try at least a couple games under vanilla to understand where the game started so you can appreciate everything that the expansions provide. Rise & Fall was a tremendous expansion and took the game to a whole new level, so you may want to consider playing some games under that rule set as well before jumping to the full game at Gathering Storm rules. Hope this helps.
I've joined a group on 'discord' but they seem to only be interested in multiplayer. I often wonder if there is a channel or group somewhere that like to talk about single player games.
On my version (PC) there isnt a way to show opposition's powers like military power
WOw, it only took 6 units to kill 2 cities... I am having so much trouble with war. What do you do if they have walls up? What units are best to take down walls? thanks :) I have played a couple full games and haven't won yet. (on settler) haha. so I needed this video.
Early on battering ram works fine with melee units. If you’re bringing cavalry class units then you’ll need catapult/trebuchet/bombard depending on the era you are in. Getting a general to go with those units is important otherwise they can’t move and shoot in the same turn and it really slows you down.
Small question, but I was not entirely clear during the trade route section: both cities benefit from the food and production bonus from a trade route between two cities within your civilization, not just the destination one?
Sorry if it was unclear. The food and production benefits indicated go to the origin city only.
Should you manage how many pops your city can have? I've gotten to the point in my game where I simply don't have the amenities to make my larger cities happy. Granted this is my first game. So in sure I'm doing something wrong as well. But still seems like a good thing to ask.
There is definitely a point where cities can grow much bigger than you actually need. If I want to limit my pop in cities than you can control that by not providing extra housing and then the food takes such a penalty that a city takes forever to grow.
I just go this game. Should I buy any expansion at all? Or learn the game first?
I always suggest trying out the game a few times to learn it in its original state, if for no other reason then to appreciate where it came from. That being said, the expansions add a great deal to the game and change a lot, so there will be lots to learn if and when you do pick up additional content. As far as what to buy, Rise & Fall was the best expansion by far but Gathering Storm is now the better purchase since you get all the functionality and features from Rise & Fall when you purchase Gathering Storm. The only thing you don't get is the 9 new Civs that come with R&F along with some Wonders. Gathering Storm does however come with its own set of 9 new leaders to choose from.
BTW, the expansions are currently 50% off on Steam if you're thinking about pulling the trigger.
Thanks for watching!
How is it that I don't have the menu under other players' icon?
He showed how to do this in the first vid, go into settings and set HUD ribbon to always on
I wish this had been divided into sections/chapters. your game is moving at a different pace (order) than mine. I'm trying to follow it as I play the game, but I'm having to skip around a lot.
I tried to keep a good flow of information going throughout the trilogy but given the depth of the game it is hard to choose an ideal order to do anything in. I hope you can persevere and get lots of valuable information out of the series to help you get better and enjoy more Civ VI!
@@Normul8or I understand. I tried to make my comment not sound like a criticism. more of a critique. :) I have your videos playing in the background while I play just so I can get bits here and there and know when something happens where I should look for insight. :D
@@Normul8or when you start a new game, should you have specific victory in mind? or do you just play and whatever victory seems to be coming your way, you start focussing on it.
@@Mehwhatevr Yeah, I didn't take it as a criticism at all, you made a good point I'm just not sure how I could have done things much differently. Having them running in the background is a solid idea to just absorb the information. The more you play the more easily the things I'm talking about will become part of your strategies.
@@Mehwhatevr It really depends on the player and what they want to accomplish for a particular game. Early on when you're getting started it might be a good idea to choose a Civ that is particularly good at something and gear your win condition towards that. For myself I always had a victory condition in mind from the start as I wanted to know an exact direction to target in order to win as fast as possible, because the turn timer was always my measure of success. For others they may just want to chill and play the game and see what comes to them. One thing you'll find is that if you do up the difficulty level you're gonna need to be more focused on victory a little more as things become more challenging.
Is it fine to just restart and restart the map until I found the spawn that I like?
Yes
Absolutely no problem. There are two types of Civ players. Those who freely admit to rerolling the map until they find one they like, and those who lie about rerolling the map to find one they like. 😂
What are good map setups and difficulty levels to test my ability?
If you’re looking for things to be easy then islands is nice, less hostility. Other option is to reduce the number of opposing Civs so you have room to play. If you’re looking for a tougher test then continents will tend to have the tightest spawns. Perhaps choose your opponents and pick war Civs. Just some thoughts.
@@Normul8or Cool! Thanks for the answer. How hard is it to beat diety?
The most important thing about beating deity is grinding out the details. Decisions matter a lot more. Getting early culture up is big, always putting in the right government cards in is crucial to get the right bonuses at the right time. Also, getting early production and momentum is key to start the snowball with your core cities. Lots of feudalism builders as quick as possible to get your cities going strong for mid game districts and buildings.
