Civilization 5 - Basics Tutorial (Part 1 of 4)

[@MrJaberjaw]

Your voice is strangely soothing and nice to listen to. Thank you for the videos!

[@radicalewok]

Just finished watching all 4 videos of the tutorial and it's a great series. Teaches you the basics in an informative but non-confusing manner. If you've just bought Civ5 in the steam sale and have no idea how to play I recommend this

[@frodo7773]

This Channel is a must for all new CIV players. Coming from zero exp with Civ games nor turn base games, his videos opened my eyes and removed the steepest learning curve in history.

[@Lyrikaisar]

Go play Victoria 2 without doing the tutorial, now that's a steep learning curve

[@GreyShot254]

***** or any other valve game, jumping into any of those is brutal

[@dalendria]

Thx for posting these. I am one of the clueless. Just bought and played it over last two days. I also had fun even though I did not fully understand things. Came here to learn more so that I can do better on next playthrough.

[@GolfVictor01]

Very in depth explanation, I see you enthusiasm for this game. I purchased it, was frustrated since I had no idea what to do but after watching this you have brought more interest to this game, thanks.

[@CROOKS326]

Excellent Guide. Short and to the point. Just what i was looking for. Wish I had come across this in my search for Civ 5 Tutorial vids. Keep up the great work. EDIT: Wow! Rest In Peace. Just read of his passing.

[@joribcn]

This is my first day of Civ. Never played this game before and when prompted to the game I was absolutely lost. Lost in the tutorial too -_-' Very very useful tutorial for beginners. I want to tank you for this, you are the man!!! Also very clean english spoken and i much apreciate that too. Many thanks :)

[@iHateKids555]

Hey MisterCiv5, thanks for these awesome tutorials and I appreciate your efforts. I've looked through KZbin and there are hardly any tutorials out there, letalone good ones. Please keep making these for us Civ newbies!

[@ThatCampingOwl]

Thanks for your tutorial videos of Civ5, i just got the game and i'm extremely grateful that there actually is a Real tutorial on it.

[@watts300]

I watched all 4 parts because I didn't understand anything when I first opened the game. This was very useful. I have a pretty good starting point now I think. Thanks.

[@Maqqie]

Thanks MisterCiv for the tutorials. They're really good, can't really suggest anything. Keep the videos coming so we can learn more.

[@duartemad]

What you said about playing it and having fun without knowing what you were doing... That is true on my case! Thanks for the tutorial

[@onlyrealnumber]

Very helpful vids. True comment on the Chieftain difficulty. I tried it out to learn the basics of the game and pulled off a worldwide domination very clumsily. Bumped it up to Warlord and the same "strategy" led to many early game loses. I have been trying a more passive approach, but you cleared up a few concepts I was unsure about. Thanks.

[@Canezboy123]

Super helpful for players interested with little to no experience. Thanks for the vid man.

[@TheRoflninja1000]

Thank you, my grandpa loves this game and when we visit ,me and him have these long Civ 5 games.

[@Drek7nn]

Thank you, MisterCiv5, for providing a most excellent and knowledgeable introduction to this engrossing turn-based strategy; a game I have long put off due to its once overwhelming scope. I commend you, sir. :)

[@ProtectionDirect]

Glad I found your vids. I always wanted to try Civ5 and grabbed it recently when Steam had it on sale. I never played the others so this is a huge help.

[@NightOfTheLiving8bit]

I thought I'd think this game was god awfully boring, but I'm actually loving it. All of these improvements and small tweaks they've made to make it accessible to different types of gamers who maybe favor Total War (such as me) over games like this, was a great idea on behalf of the dev's. Tried the demo, took my time learning (which is key) bought the gold edition and all expansions all at once!

[@clayton1422yt]

Just bought this game. This video is perfect for beginners. Cheers dude. All well explained

[@DevilProductions546]

I've actually played Civilization 4 (a lot) and I even learned new stuff here. Good Job!

[@KW_FlyFishing]

Thank you for the tutorial. This is going to be my first strategy game to play and your help is greatly appreciated.

[@oribt1]

Oh thank you! Finally someone on youtube that give a good basics tutorial. Subscribed!

[@nacah]

thanks for the great videos, without them I may not think I would get to understand the points of the game.

[@ultimatepie27]

thanks so much! i would have been clueless of how about how to play without this video.

[@Jasonboyee]

Civilization 5 was hyped up to me and so I rushed out to get it. Boy did I stumbled. I'm came from the Total War, Age of Empire, Rise of Nations camp and this game was simply deep. Deep is good, if the included tutorial is good. Sadly, the tutorial in the game suck. Thank you for this very basic, but much needed intro to Civil 5. You are the man!

[@coa1979liw]

lol... one of the truly great PC game series, ever! I haven't played it since civ 4, but i must get this game and get back in the groove. Also, the best strategy IMO is to build cities, grow the economy, build up units (since it costs money to have a large military) and unleash hell!!!! lol....

[@spectraldistortion]

very very good tutorial video, many thanks. I would have been lost without this.

[@thecamoduo]

I am just like the guy that had no idea what was going on, but was having fun. Just like me.

[@bythejerseyshore]

Thanks for taking the time for making this tutorial. I love sim games but never played civilization. I have played ages of empires and this is different and looks confusing but says its a very good game so i will try it. Can't wait. I justed hope i can understand because it looks so confusing and I am spastic but with your help I hope I will play the game soon with alot more understanding than when I opened the game on my own. Much thanks again..

[@NightOfTheLiving8bit]

I also want to note that the learning curve isn't that bad at all. As long as you have advisor tips, etc on and carefully read all the tips youll be building and expanding in no time. If you play and enjoy RTS games and things like RPG's, you'll find that learning is easier as well. Especially if you play the Total War games, or other ones like Sins Of A Solar Empire, etc.

[@NoRealNick]

thanks, you made Civ V clear for, like your example i had fun but no sence of what i was doing until i watched your tutorial.

[@Jamesh1121981]

LOL he does sound like Caboose from Red vs Blue . makes it all the better . thank you for this tutorial . it helped me figure out the basics

[@mwinn23]

I agree with everyone else, really useful and helpful video for a Civ newbie like me, many thanks.

[@muzzworth]

Huge help for first time Civ player. Thanks!

[@eviljonny8446]

Wow thanks so much for a great tutorial! I'm a newcomer to civ and the in built tutorial was terrible, really glad you made this, I finally feel like I know what the heck I'm doing :)

[@Aaron3ous]

Thanks for taking the time to make this. Very helpful.

[@Fun2MudGaming]

SO who came here because Civ 5 is on sale on steam right now?

[@ethanord5125]

Moi

[@Oozywolf]

Same, actually got me to make the purchase. Shame people are saying this guy passed away. Really top notch videos. Great information and voice to explain everything. Whenever I thought of a question he always answered it right after lol.

[@ethanord5125]

Oozywolf He's dead!!

[@Fun2MudGaming]

he's dead?

[@Oozywolf]

Yeah that's what I've heard :(. Like I said, he had a great way of explaining everything. But at least he was able to teach so many people before going.

[@StephanieLoveful]

yeah, this is probably better then the ingame tutorial. Thanks for making the world a little bit smarter.

[@JustinBishop]

really like the vids. I've played iv a bit 5 years ago but im pretty much new. good work.

[@oldskidgrey]

Excellent videos, very informative

[@Jasonboyee]

Great tutorial for a NOOB like me. Thank you for keep us beginners in mind!

[@itsmetb]

Empire Earth is what you're talking about. I have always loved that damn game!

[@Midare121]

Thanks for the videos, Ij just downloaded the demo of steam. went into the demo blindly and ahd no clue what i was doing, thanks again for the tutorial :D

[@lumburgapalooza]

There are generational lineages which, when traced back from historical reference-points, puts genesis at around 4000 BC.

[@ShankuDed]

best tutorial out well thorughly explained thankyou

[@EO199]

hey im new to civ 5 but i can help you out with these things With regards to Q1: To get the game, you can both download it or buy the physical disc Currently its 50% off steam so be quick about it buy the gold edition comes with all expansions Or go to your nearest store and buy it Question 2: YES! You do need civ 5 to get the expansion packs. So buy the gold edition. 3. Yes, with the expansion packs you get things like religion much much more. So again, get the gold edition 50% off on steam.

[@electricWizard19]

You can change that in the options, it makes the game run smoother I think.

[@amyloriley]

It depends on the graphic settings and it's just that. Clouds are fancier graphics of the black fog-of-war tiles, that's all.

[@HeinousAnusOG]

Very helpful and thorough. Thanks a lot!

[@FoorFex]

Here you can see how long the first turn could take^^ Nice work and I like^^

[@Jotun184]

Thanks for making this, you're really good at explaining this :)

[@Roger4313]

thanks for the tutorial, i could not bare reading all the boring messages in the game tutorial

[@LoLProPlays]

thanks man awesome tutorial!

[@chrisvickers1357]

How did you make the fog of war look like that instead of the clouds?

[@TippyHippy]

Thank you so much for posting these videos, I didn't know squat fuck until I came here.

[@TheCockConnoisseur]

I mmy friend taught me a few things buy I learned about recourses have spefic types and tiles have certain combat bonuses thanks man

[@MisterMeatBall100]

Anyone else here after the latest steam sale?

[@skulkrock]

Great job on this. I always wanted to to try Civ . . . . and I just picked it up at Steam on sale. I tried the included tutorial and pretty much figured it would be one of those games I wouldn't play. The game tutorial is horrible IMO, but I knew I wanted to try this game! After watching this segment I'm looking forward to moving on. Going to watch the series then have a go at it. Cheers

[@CrazyDave408]

Thanks alot for this. Got this on steam for 12 bucks... realized I had no idea what the hell i'm doing pretty quickly.

[@NightOfTheLiving8bit]

P.P.S. I also want to add that this game is insanely addictive in the sense that you won't really think or know that the game is addictive, until you sit down and play and realize that 5-6 hours has gone by in what feels like an hour or two of playing. Especially when you're in a stage of development that is much quicker and possibly at war with another faction. Multi-tasking between building and defending/attacking and maintaining armies makes time FLY, you always want that ONE more move!

[@Prolink]

I guess my only issue with this part 1 video is that I wish there was more action. There's enough sitting around explaining over explaining while doing that it makes me want to reach for a manual. But the general consensus is that I'll learn best from this so on to part 2!

[@LynnePedigoRidayReiter]

What would I do without you?! :) Thanks, I have not played Civ since it first came out. I am a voice crying in the wilderness!

[@hockeater]

Complicated is the point. If you want similar combat but less complicated innerds get Warlock: Master of the Arcane.

[@Gothos]

Note regarding terrain for cities: tundra and desert seem to have more of a chance to have Iron and, moreso, Oil, later on in the game - at least that's what seems to be true for most of my games.

[@Foxkoun]

I've played through about 12 hours of this so far, it's been kind of tedious so I'm hoping to learn some new corners to it.

[@di1in]

Thanks for the tutorial Mister!

[@gitsays]

Thank you so much for this! I've been playing settlers and age of empires a lot, so I thought i'd be able to figure Civilization out. Turns out, I couldn't ...

[@LighterHook000]

Great series!

[@SirKoroshi]

Awesome tutorial mate.

[@RebeccaTaylor21]

Lol, it was at that point that I knew I was going to like this tutorial ^^

[@wuapricot9100]

Thank you the in game tutorial fucking blows

[@BonPhire]

Haha 7 hours into the game and then you realise the tutorial was fucking you over as my army's using sticks up against tanks

[@markspam54]

BonPhire LoL now I know now!

[@Rainingcoldheart]

Thanks dude, this is really good video, even though it's a bit long and slow.. but great video.

[@jamesey15]

Such a hard game to get used too, especially if you haven't played the earlier versions. The in game tutorial is soooo bad! but this video was really helpfull. Thanks bro

[@bmcg678]

I'm new to the series and just had a few questions: 1.) To get the game do you have to download it online or buy a disc physically 2.) Do you need the original Civ V to play Brave New World/Gods and Kings 3.) Are there any major differences between the standard CIV 5 and the others (brave New World/Gods and Kings)

[@Fatcat157]

@qwhylord Oh ok. I'll do that and I'll read some game logs on civfanatics from back when the game was first released and I suppose that'll be enough. Thanks for taking the time to answer!

[@stormrevenant]

Thank you so much. You are good at explanations. :)

[@Healsoflove]

thank you! just bought the game and this helps so much! LOL thanks!

[@LegitGamer720]

what do you use to record? also great vid. i am a civilization virgin and these videos are defiantly useful to me

[@rick98765]

God dammit. I always miss this kind of stuff by a couple days, just bought the GOTY edition yesterday for $50.

[@xmifi]

Thanks for the good tutorial.

[@rohansamal]

Thanks for this vid. really helpful. juststarting on civ 5 :D found this really helpful

[@may2730]

thank you very much now i can enjoy from this game !!

[@Meelapo]

Thanks for the tutorial!

[@topsofwow]

You have earned a sub sir

[@ronhindracks846]

any help on how to get the clouds am tired of the black blocks

[@harvestguy204]

The intro really made me want to clear my throat

[@EyeIn_The_Sky]

was this the game were you could go from the stone age right to the distant future ? I have been looking for that game but I cant remember what it was called, Im not sure if its this one or not. I got it confused with age of empires 3 which I think only lets you get to post industrial

[@wfriddell]

@skulkrock same here, i'm ready to play now!

[@1811luke]

Thanks Mate! Really Helpfull! :)

[@Fatcat157]

Does anyone have any suggestions for Civ veterans looking to learn about the changes from Civ4? I've played Civs2-4 and want to get into 5 but I'd like to know the nuances of the tweaks and additions first.

[@Murilo15]

@MisterCiv5 so the fog of war doesnt change the processor speed i mean mines is .3 lower than the minimum requirements.... but if it really doenst change a thing i will activate it

[@dumplings769]

How do you make the fog of war looks better. In other videos the fog of war isnt that black and the map is a bit zoomed out

[@Darict]

This game definitely allows you to do that, so I think you may have found it!

[@Archoss]

I have a Qosmio G20 Laptop with no modifications but i cannot seem to find the system settings, would Civ V work on it?

[@handatushar]

i was too having fun but didnt know what i was doing lol

[@Daniel39363]

How do you change the fog of war from clouds to black stuff?

[@Stewbone]

Do you know why there aren't clouds like in the other civ 5 gameplays I've seen? Is it that you have minimum requirements?

[@filthypanda13]

yeah i jumped on it, before saw was like 50 bucks, saw was like a week or weekend sale for 10-15 bucks i think on steam?

[@YodelingLuigi]

I have played and fully understand civilization revolution, is this much more complicated?

[@TheDeathofGrace]

i just played first time on demo and im going to watch these videos just to find out whats good. like i think i did something dumb like build a monument right away.

[@MrApocalypticapple]

hmm, that's an interesting idea, it would certainly make sense that they have more unhappy population. I guess we should suggest it to the makers
