[@jeromerowley5166]

I remember that I was looking forward to playing Civilization 6 when it came out, and then promptly getting my my ass kicked on Settler difficulty, no less! I tried a few more times and gave up on the game, preferring to go back to the more familiar Civilization 5. I credit your videos with giving me the confidence to go back and try Civ 6 again. I'm having a great time now with the game and look forward to seeing your intermediate level tutorials!

[@Normul8or]

I’m truly humbled by this incredibly kind feedback! Knowing that I’m making this game, that I love so much, more enjoyable for people means the world to me! I’m really so happy that you’re having such a great time playing Civ 6 and I’ll be sure to keep the Tutorials coming as often as I can. This made my week, thank you.

[@marcayalde9917]

bought civ 6 a few years ago. i jumped immediately to king because thats the difficulty i was comfortable with back in civ 5. just got pottery then i immediately get WRECKED by a surprise war from china. turned away from civ 6 and went back to 5 after that haha but hey at least now im here watching this vid to give it another chance!

[@kyleshea1151]

Likewise, I put 150 hours into Civ 5 and went into Civ 6 at Chieftain difficulty. Now I'm getting slapped around like a paperweight. Knowing the changes and how they apply to gameplay is, no pun intended, a gamer changer.

[@RafaelSilva-yv3oh]

Man, I know it's been years but I just bought it on sale with all expansions, technically a first time player. Other youtubers also do a good job, but there's something about yours that just made everything click! I understand a bunch of stuff I didn't before. I wished I've had found your video before because I mostly f'd up my first 40 turns, but I'm gonna keep going as practice and when I eventually loose start a better one with some more experience under the belt! Awesome content!

[@soniromanov]

Best tutorial for any game I have ever seen. So well spoken, well edited (cutting all the boring things out in turns, and nice transitions). Every 10 minutes I felt like playing the game just to try the things you have recommended. GG.

[@Normul8or]

Couldn't image a more generous compliment, thanks so much for making my day! Seriously, that is super kind! I put a lot of work into this series and it means a lot that so many people are enjoying it and getting such great value from it! Cheers!

[@MegaIronica]

That was a great tutorial. I watched a few ones until now but this is the first one that explained effectively some basics. I played hours in my first game and didnt realize yet that the science/culture/faith points in the top left corner are what determine how many turns a certain development takes. It clarifies so much things and it's only in your video that I understood that. Thanks a lot.

[@Normul8or]

Really happy to hear that the videos are helping people learn and enjoy the game. Thanks for sharing, and thanks for watching.

This game was like $6 on sale and I got this. I've never played a civ game before and this tutorial is absolutely the best out there. Thank you!

[@skeletonflower_]

Now that I've had my first win, I came back here to give a comment and my thanks. I watched all your beginner videos and I have to say that they are the best out of all beginner videos I've watched. I was able to understand what you told even though I had just played around with two leaders beforehand and you answered all my questions AND helped with the troubles I had (I was so bad at fighting and now I've conquered all the other civs' capitals after my cultural victory). Now I actually know what I'm doing! I recommend everyone to watch also the rest of these beginner videos!

[@Normul8or]

Every once in a while someone drops an incredibly kind and generous comment about the content I make here on KZbin and it never gets old! Knowing that people value my work so much is very inspiring and drives me to make more and better content! Helping people is a reward in itself, but knowing I'm helping people enjoy this game that I love so much is amazing. This game can be very intimidating to new players, so knowing that I'm making it more accessible and enjoyable for people means that these videos have accomplished their goal. Thanks so much again for taking the time to come back and leave this comment, and thank you for watching! Cheers!

This tutorial is the go to one, when you start to play it now. The game itself is too overwhelming without some proper explanation if you have never played it. I bought it for the switch and already started over like 4 times, for just improving my basics and getting to learn the game. It really takes time for all the information to sink in. But i still believe it's a great game if you have the patience. Or at least i hope so hahaha. Nevertheless thanks a lot for having put this tutorial together. It's still great 3 year's later!

[@sparkylp9068]

Bought the game last year on sale (switch version) and tried playing it without any knowledge about Civ whatsoever. Today on the 5th of February 2023 I'm watching your tutorial which amazingly teaches me how to play the game I got myself more than a year ago. Thank you so much

[@qu1nneth136]

As a math teacher, I want to commend you on your ability to clearly explain a new, complicated topic to a wide audience. I was just given this game by a friend for Christmas, and I really had no idea what was going on in the one game I played. You did an amazing job of defining your audience, and then proceeding to patiently describe each new aspect of the game without going too slowly. You didn't dwell on the small repetitive details, and you strongly emphasized each major point. It sounded like I was listening to you read off a well-constructed slideshow presentation while showing game footage. You also made it clear that there is more than one way to play the game, saying that there isn't necessarily a "correct" sequence of events the player needs to complete. Well done, keep it up! I'm excited to watch the next video in this series!

[@Normul8or]

Thank you so much for the great feedback! I’m really proud of how this series turned out and it’s very nice to read someone so eloquently detail the successes of my hard work! Cheers!

Ive tried getting into civ games over the years and found them impenetrable in terms of the learning curve. I just had no idea what to do or direction to go in and as such I just gave up. Over the last few years I've really got into board games and civ 6 popped up in a steam sale recently so I picked it up and decided this is the time I stick with it. Having watched your video, I found it very well explained and came away and completed my first game. I lost but learnt a lot from my mistakes. Still a ton to learn to really get a grasp but your video has helped me enjoy this game. Now I understand the memes of "one more turn"

@@Normul8or I installed Civ-6 about 4 days ago. I haven't played a Sid Meier game since Alpha Centauri about 22 years ago (aging myself!). So I perused KZbin for some quick beginner guides and I watched all 45min of this video. Thank YOU for the tips. I have since won one victory (500 turn, standard map, prince) by Science and a second victory by Score. Culture and Religion seem harder so I'm doing those next. For "Early Production (@9:35)" I've started liking double slinger (early archery boost after a Barbarian kill too) and then purchasing my first builder with gold. Anyway, this noobie thanks you and probably owes you for two victories in the first few games I've ever played.

[@Normul8or]

Fantastic to hear you’re enjoying the game and racking up the Ws. I wouldn’t worry too much about dating yourself around here, me and Sid go back more than a quarter century! 😊 I should also mention in case you didn’t notice, this video was the first of a three part trilogy, so if you can spare another couple hours or so you may pick up a few more helpful strategies to help you with those other win conditions! Cheers!

[@Normul8or]

Also, an early slinger or two is always a nice choice to help protect your lands early for sure, they upgrade nicely into archers if the AI get any ideas, which are great for defence! Early builders are great for creating tempo, nice choice!

[@NavyPharmD]

@@Normul8or Got my culture win today with France! Took me about 390 turns, but we got there. Only religious victory is left. Seems tough to make enough apostles especially early game - focusing so much production on faith sites / wonders feels like it might put me behind in science or military. It's also tough to build the first stone-henge or oracle, as the computer is too quick! Thinking I might just go Scythia, build holy sites in every city I have, pump missionaries as fast as the game will let me, unlock early sailing for better spread, and finally the most important step, obliterate Spain.

Just bought Civ 6 for 5 bucks on ps5 and im lovinggg it......never played a Civ game before but grew up playing Medieval total war and age of enoires and other games like it. Its been 15 years though.....THANKS FOR THE HELP

[@Normul8or]

You’re very welcome! Always makes me happy to know I’m helping people enjoy such a great game!

[@sadekOBE]

I love how you start the video by telling us what to expect and who will benefit from the video. I love know 2 mins in whether or not I want to commit to a long video. You got a new sub, keep it up, very helpful video.

[@Normul8or]

Thanks for the kind words, mate! I hope the second and third videos in this series are as helpful and enjoyable for you! Welcome aboard!

[@lawrenceethan1675]

My friends and I have played a lot of civ 5 but this video helped us get into 6 so much better than the in game tutorial, thank you!

[@Normul8or]

That's great, hope you and your friends are having lots of fun with 6, it is such an amazing game, even compared to previous Civilization titles.

Just picked this up in the recent steam sale. Great guide, thanks!

[@TheFiveRiver]

This video has made so much sense of this game for me. The game and all the DLC was on sale for like 30 bucks and a bunch of peple in my platoon play this after work. I was completely lost the first few games I played and was just building and buying things blindly, but now I actually have some understanding of what's going on. Thank you so much

[@colombogermano]

Thank you for the tutorial. I just got into the series with Civ 6 and found it very challenging, even with the in-game tutorial which does not allow you to save your progress, so if you have to do something else, you would have to restart the tutorial all over again or just get yourserlf into a game with the AI punishing you for not knowing the basics.

[@Normul8or]

Really glad you enjoyed! Don't forget to check out parts 2 and 3 of the series! ;)

[@JTTechie]

I'm about to play Civ6 on Switch (never played any Civ game before) and your video is tremendously helpful. thank you!

[@ur_wrong1209]

This definitely deserves each and every view and like! Good guide man, thank you!

[@Normul8or]

I'm glad you enjoyed! It makes me so happy to know that this series has helped so many! Speaking of which, make sure you catch the 2nd and 3rd parts! ;) Thanks for watching!

[@73powder]

coming back to civ6 after a very long hiatus (like no dlc ever bought lol) what a great video to get back on track!!! Having played other 4x since i tried to start a game last night and it was like i never played before couldn't remember the basic ....i will follow your channel for now on!!

[@Normul8or]

Music to my ears, Jean. Don't forget to check out the second and third parts of this series as well. Thanks for enjoying the content!

[@Rahul_Sastry]

Finally got a good laptop so I decided to play it the whole thing was a whole infodump and gave me stress your video is much easier to understand.

[@MrKKmusic]

Fantastic! Great overall strategy and nice selection of details so as not to make my eyes glaze over

[@AXRISTEROS]

Great video!I play Civ Rev a lot and it's time to focus on this game too.Thanks for the infirmative tips.Very useful for a new easier start on this marvelous game.

[@Normul8or]

Thanks so much, mate! Happy to help!

[@kidamnesiak1]

I started out with Civilization Revolution 2 on my android phone a while back, got Civ 6 on sale for my new PC recently and learning it now... It's soo much better than Revolution, which makes sense because Revolution is a vastly simplified/dumbed down version of Civ. Apparently you can play Civ 6 on mobile too now, but that sounds like an extremely uncomfortable way to play. There's too much going on and too much small text to read.

[@miketokles9451]

Just started pkaying today for the first time, its my first civ game. Runing the tutorial but wanted to see a video explaining the basics. Great job

[@jacquesjtheripper5922]

Tutorial aint really good i find. Better just play a play now game with the hints set at 1st time civ player. It explains better and u can save. And its not too easy also

[@hughanthony2001]

I like your relaxed style. I'm not "new" to Civ games, but I've not played in years. Just bought the whole game (plus all expansions) for under £15.

[@RealMikeGibbs]

I loved the idea of this game! I’ve never played any of them. I’m struggling soooo much bruh!! Thanks for the help! Definitely subscribing!

[@angrydrunkengerman2819]

Thank you sir for accepting an impossible task - making a tutorial for a game that literally came out with it's own bible 15 years ago. There's no way to ever include everything but it's most appreciated. I haven't played since 3 (and on Mac at that) so I've missed a lot.

[@Normul8or]

It's a dirty job, but someone had to do it! 😀 While I'm sure I didn't include everything, I did make 2 other parts to this "Basics" series, so I hope you managed to check those out as well! Welcome back to the wonderful world of Civilization!

[@jesselindsey1402]

Realized I've been neglecting some very fundamental aspects of this game. Great video, thanks!

[@Normul8or]

Awesome! Really happy to hear that. Make sure to catch the other two parts of this trilogy if you haven't done so already! ;)

[@damienfritz]

I played almost every Civ games since the first one but couldn't play this one because on my old computer. Watching this, you just motivated me to buy a new computer to finaly play it! My last Civ was IV and this one looks sooooo much better! Thanks mate!

[@JustaMuteCat]

It’s been so long that I played any civ games and then I spotted VI with a huge discount on Nintendo Switch eshop sometime ago and grabbed it immediately. It feels really weird to play this kind of game with the console controls and the difficulty gets compounded by the amount of changes the series had since I last played. Thanks to your video I was able to hit the ground running and been enjoying it quite a bit. Keep up the good work.

[@Normul8or]

There are two more parts to the series if you haven’t seen them yet. 😄

[@ducatiroche]

Just started playing this game today... I was completely confused until I saw your video. Thank you 👍

[@Normul8or]

Glad I could help!

[@K9Med]

Thanks a bunch. I've played CIV on and off, this tutorial helped me with minor but important tasks I missed. Thank you!

[@Normul8or]

I hope the second and third parts serve to help you out as well!

[@K9Med]

@@Normul8or absolutely!
