Civilization 6 Tutorial - Even More Basics! (A Beginner's Guide) - Vanilla Friendly

[@truehlidskjalf]

Best 3 tutorials for begginers! We want more!

[@Normul8or]

Working on a new tutorial right now. 👍

[@sethp26]

I know this is a year old but i just wanted you to know your voice is very soothing while high, calms any anxiety

[@Normul8or]

Not the first time I've heard this and it's nice every time! Go Bearcats!!

[@mattjames112]

I haven't played a Civ since Civ 4. I bought this game the other day and quickly realized I have no idea what's going on anymore. Just watch your videos and they have been a great help! I'm looking forward to accidently wasting a whole day playing Civ again!

[@Normul8or]

Accidentally wasting an entire day playing Civ is one of the great pleasures in life! :D

[@Havobert]

I really appreciate these tutorials. Civ 6 is great but it gets overwhelming so fast. Not knowing why to do I just start moving my army units around the map. Your tutorials helped me to take a first step towards understanding how deep the strategy of this game is and how fun it is to conjure up a plan and see itcome to fruition. Thank you and keep up the good work !

[@Normul8or]

Super kind words, thank you so much!! I’m happy to hear you’re making improvements, and glad I could be a part of that!! Cheers.

[@paulr7194]

Man this is the best tutorial I've found online. Clearly explained, well structured, and easy to follow. Appreciate the hard work!

[@the6ofhearts]

your tutorials are amazing. im 34 and playing Civ for the first time

[@Normul8or]

Thank you so much for taking the time to say so, I really appreciate it! Civilization games are my favourite of all time, I'm really happy I could get you enjoying. Cheers!

[@randomutubr222]

I know this is 4 years old but I just downloaded Civ6 on my Switch and have been looking up a bunch of beginner guides, and this series is 100% the most helpful and I’m much more confident digging into the game now. Thank you sir!

[@stickywilliams2820]

God thank you so much, some other KZbinrs move wayyy too quickly and water down the education with too many jokes or assuming everyone knows little things, I needed this to understand what’s really happening, thank you

[@ansel569]

So I've got about 100hrs into Civ 6, won a few games, but this series has still been very useful to me. You explained things that other guides didn't and in a really clear way. I feel like I actually understand what I'm doing now so much better.

[@Normul8or]

As always, love to read messages like this! Helping people understand and enjoy this wonderful game was the goal of doing this series, so everytime I hear from someone letting me know I've hit home is fantastic!

[@EarthsAscension2012]

Thanks for explaining to me why I been losing so many games ;-) There is so much to this game than I have realized. Well done, sir!

[@Kyokami運命]

Thank you for all 3 of the tutorial videos, they've realy helped out!

[@Normul8or]

Love to see the dedication that took you all the way through the three part series! 👍

[@briansaenz1617]

Just got done watching all your beginners tutorials. Can’t help but feel like I’m cheating the game or taking shortcuts but just like you said these are BASICS. Saves me the time of reading all encyclopedia tutorials which I hate doing. So thank you for making everything clear and informative. I was so happy to see Civ 6 on my PS Plus membership since I really enjoyed Civ 5.

[@OceanAbyss_]

I bought this game years ago and loved it, but I was so bad at it that I eventually gave up. I recently picked it up again and looked up some guides, your basics series was by far the most comprehensive, thank you. Now to find your more advanced tutorials

[@iamzifoe826]

I played Civ: Revolution on PS3 and loved it, recently got Civ: 6 and it's so different. These tutorials really helped alot, thank you kind sir!

[@arlenxxx2768]

that is without saying THE VERY BEST tutorial I have found, I cant wait to play the game now, with all that detailed insight. Thank you so much Sir, you got me. Still plenty to see/ learn from you. all the best

[@garabs]

Thank you so much for doing these videos! I bought Civ 6 a while back without never having played any other game of the genre and was so overwhelmed. I tried the in-game tutorial but it wasnt that great, but after watching these videos I'm actually very excited to play and keep learning. Without you I would've never known how fun Civ actually is! Thanks a bunch! (btw, love how you explain stuff and you have a very soothing voice)

[@Normul8or]

I get lots of wonderful comments but this is one of the best I’ve read in a long long time. Thanks for watching, I hope you’re still enjoying the game!

[@ruimsilva95]

Just finished the third video of this tutorial. Will definitely tackle Civ VI with more confidence from now on. Will also be looking into your content to find more content in order to get better at the game and understanding its concepts on a deeper level. Thank you very much!

[@darthbaluuduh6598]

As someone who has played Civ 5 and BE quite a bit a few years back, I really enjoyed this series and seeing how different civ 5/BE and 6 actually are. You convey those concepts so much clearer than the ingame tutorial or advisor help ever could. Thank you so much for doing this. Also, would you be willing to make a video breakdown/tutorial on the two expansion packs? So what changed and how exactly the added mechanics work? Since if it is anything like the expansions for Civ5 I'd wager it is quite a hefty change. I would very much appreciate that. And again, since it can't be said enough, thank you so much.

[@Rkingwr81]

I’ve been playing since Civ5 but wow this really helped with concepts I hadn’t considered

[@andrewcheesar4384]

NORMUL8OR YOU DO AN OUTSTANDING JOB OF TEACHING A VERY COMPLEX GAME !!! CIV GAMES AFTER CIV 4 HAVE BEEN GETTING A GREAT DEAL MORE COMPLEX!!! YOU ALMOST HAVE TO BE A LAWYER NOW TO UNDERSTAND THE GAME BY YOURSELF.CIV 4 WAS MY FAVORITE: UNLIMITED WAR, GREAT GRAPHICS AND SIMPLE RULES!!!

[@acidspeedzero]

Amazing, I've been playing for a year and have only won 1 game... this explains so much that I didn't know! Please keep them coming!

[@Chopthemonions]

Just got civ 6 on sale on steam and this series is great!!

[@xzysyndrome]

Late to the party with Civ7 on the way...but Civ6 being $5 on steam...I couldn't pass it up. What a different feel. I have to say....the prominent Civ videos are either dudes on 30 shots of espresso or monkeys full throttle on the typical youtube video hype vibe....I dig your relaxed, normal speed style, Subbed, Been playing since Civ II....what an evolution. I will never forget my email games on Civ II gold....somehow, playing after Alpha Centauri...the franchise has kinda left me less enthusiastic.

[@tosspot1305]

Same.. just picked it up myself and is my first civ game. These tutorials have been invaluable

[@xzysyndrome]

@@tosspot1305 I'm hyped on Civ7. I am actually digging all these new mechanics...not a fan of how easy it is to Win with Culture however...hopefully they nerf that by making some kind of difficult Wonder Build. Always been a Domination player myself. The United Nations was a cool touch...but lets be honest...Domination is the cream of the Crop. Wasn't a fan of the "Districts" at first...but as I start to understand adjacency and bonuses...it's starting to sparkle with me.

[@debojohnson5354]

Thanks man. I hadn't played since civ 3 and was so lost. You are a great teacher.

[@Normul8or]

Thanks so much for saying so, it really means a lot each time someone posts positive feedback on this tutorial series! Knowing that I’m helping people enjoy this great game is the ultimate reward!

[@1qaz209]

Just recently picked up civ 6 for the first time, your tutorials make a lot of the mechanics and concepts less daunting, thanks!

[@Normul8or]

Glad to help!

[@73powder]

Surprise surprise number 3 is as good as the first two parts!!!You may say basic but you darn well brush on everything in the vanilla game...having just bought the two expansion it’s a new learning curve but anyone watching the three part can easily win some game and not feel lost in the vanilla version! Great work as always

[@Normul8or]

I'm really proud of these videos so I really appreciate people taking time to leave some feedback to let me know what they thought. Thanks so much for watching and I hope you enjoy the countless hours of one more turn with the expansions!

awesome stuff and smooth speach/attitude. I'm at the 3rd Prince tutorial too. Stuff I wasted time on: figuring how the boulder really works..or using support units. Also Control zones may be another worthy topic. (Im on the Switch edition) Maybe I'll see this in the next 2 Prince videos.

[@DannyRoberts-l8i]

These are the best videos for tutorials on civ 6 I have seen. Used to play older civ games and lastly civ 5 couple of years ago with moderate success. The pace of this video is just right, some other videos rush things to much. Have a question though. I don't seem to be able to build giant death robots ? Do I need an expansion pack or something ??

[@Normul8or]

Giant Death Robots do require a ver late game tech but I don’t recall if they were part of an expansion or not. I highly doubt they were though.

More tutorials soon, thanks for watching and I hope you'll stay tuned! Cheers!

[@DannyRoberts-l8i]

Can you possibly do a video explaining religion in civ 6 pls ?? Have played for a while but just overlook religion all the time. Currently in a game where my cities have been converted to a different religion and am kinda unsure how to get it back ....

[@ducatiniels]

Keeps getting more complicated. But thanks for the time and effort. It's so well explained.

[@Normul8or]

The more you play the more it will make sense. Pick up a few pieces of the puzzle each game and before you know it the basics will have become second nature! 👍

[@vincentkroes8960]

Great tutorial. Well done.

[@rowanewiets]

Great tutorial. Question: do you start a game with your win condition already in mind? Or do you start to think about it only when you're a couple hundred turns in?

[@Normul8or]

I typically start out with an idea of what I want to do strategically in terms of a win condition but you don’t have to by any means. Particularly if you’re not worried about how many turns it takes to ‘win’ and you just want to enjoy a casual game. When I’ve done my sub 200 turn victory runs in the past I’ve always had a good idea of the plan on turn 1. 👍

[@nahomphp6199]

i love your tutorials very much if you play Europa universe Iv please please please create a tutorial for it

I do play EU IV and really enjoy it, but I don’t feel like I could talk about that game with nearly the confidence or proficiency I can when it comes to Civilization VI. Thanks so much for watching, I’m glad you enjoyed!

with the 50 light years thing its not "magic" persay the rocket is using a solar sail which catches solar energy and converts it into usable energy to propel the object its attached to. the whole idea pretty sci fi at the moment

[@sporkcrx]

You mentioned a "roll" during combat, is there some randomness that happens during combat?

[@Normul8or]

There is a mild amount of variability that occurs during combat. Usually just a couple hit points plus or minus.

[@y2kplus9]

Jesus H this game is complex. But TBH I think that's a good thing. Getting tired of brain dead easy games. Loved the tutorial, it'll really help when I start playing this (I just bought it half off on Steam sale).

[@Normul8or]

There is definitely a lot going on, I’m glad you liked the tutorials. I hope you enjoy the game!

[@aidilfp7580]

thanks for the tutorial, can i ask how to get more resources faster? i really frustrated cant upgrade or create more better troops with a few resources

[@Normul8or]

There are gov’t cards you can use to increase the rate that resources accumulate. Of course expanding quickly to more land (I have a tutorial for that) will generally give you more copies as well. Also, if you are suzerain of a city state you acquire their strategic as well as luxury resources, so if you’re having particular problems you could target a specific city state that has what you’re looking for. I will say this, while strategic resources do limit army sizes for the player they are doing the same for the AI. Particularly on high difficulties where the AI used to spam units before there was requirements. It was no fun getting turn 80 knight rushed by the deity AI trust me. They’d come with 8 or 10 of the bastards! It was actually a pretty big nerf to the AI tbh.

[@ThePsh07]

You’ve probably learned how to pronounce “tithe” by now (kinda rhymes with “five”), but I thought “Tith” was funny haha. 😆

[@phoqueme]

Just got it on Switch, and after 2+ hours of watching this beautiful tutorial... I know I'm still gonna f*ck up in my first 50 turns 🤣🤣

[@thomasherzog3318]

How do you know if your battering ram is working? How do you implement it/ get it started? Thanks. :)

[@Normul8or]

If it is next to the city it is working. Remember that it only works with melee class weapons. So horse units don’t benefit. You’ll notice when you hit that the health of the walls will drop a lot because all of the hit power is going to the walls and none are going to city center. Remember that all melee units adjacent to city get benefit of using battering ram even if not on same tile as the ram itself.

[@Minyuun]

are these tutorials going to be continued? I'm loving the content and sharing with many of my friends who have recently gotten into Civ with me. you've taught me alot, thank you, really need some more content, please share some more of your knowledge.

Really happy you're enjoying the content, Bud! Thank you so much for sharing the videos with your friends as well, it really does mean a lot!! I'm glad you're learning lots, the game only gets better the more you know, which is the reason I decided to make these tutorials, so people could enjoy this amazing game even more! As for more tutorials, there are a couple more tutorials beyond this trilogy that you may enjoy watching and should teach you plenty more skills, you can find them here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/moPHnGpspM5pkMU and here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHuWqnuGorlgidk When it comes to making more tutorials, I do have some ideas that I'd like to turn into videos at some point, but like anything, it's about finding the time to get them done!
