New to the channel? I do Let's Play videos -- these are like walkthrough guides of gameplay with continuous English commentary trying to explain my decisions and what strategy I use. If you're looking for hacks or cheats, you're in the wrong place!

[@racefrazier7998]

My father has a very debilitating disease. As a result he has chronic depression. My brother and I convinced him to play civ 6 and even built him a PC to do so. Civ 6 literally help save his life. The only civ game hes played was civ 1. Now thanks to your vids I can play with my dad. I don't like RTS or trun base strategy games but Im learning for my dad. thx this game is a lot at once.

[@apollokhanski]

I know I'm kinda late but that's a beautiful story, I hope your father starts to fell better. I never had a dad and as a result I can't understand how you feel but stay strong. You are doing all you can and you are helping him survive by being their for him. I know things get hard sometimes but how you handle hit shows you character and if you handle it well you will be able to become stronger.

[@OBZRV82]

I lost pops in 2012 I miss him. Long story short, treasure every moment with ur old man, and you'll be rich with priceless memories. Peace.

[@seans28able]

Race Frazier this made me cry

[@NickC_222]

Race Frazier How awesome. I can relate to your father's scenario in terms of the chronic depression, and just today I, myself, just finished receiving all the parts to build my first custom gaming PC as well, which is why I'm here watching this. This game definitely is a lot to learn, that's for sure. The awesome thing, though, is that you're taking the time to figure it all out anyway, for your dad, especially being someone who's not particularly into this sort of game. I respect the hell out of it. As someone with lifelong, often debilitating depression myself, I can say that having someone in your life who's willing to make that sort of effort and spend that sort of time with you is just the most valuable thing, and very hard to come across. It's tough to know what to do or how to help when it comes to a disease like depression, but often just being there for them makes a monumental difference when it's really needed. So on your father's behalf, thanks. That's really awesome of you.

[@Rockcroc2000Rm1wE3erWmNfkL]

I hate to say it, I really do, but what's with all these people just being depressed? People need to lighten up, and it's a choice you make.

[@carlojimeneztrader]

Bought the game yesterday, played it for a few hours. Have absolutely no idea what im doing

[@user-sl4sx6dp4c]

bro me too. no idea what to do

[@demolazer]

I've played civ 4 and 5 to death and still found a lot of 6 very confusing at first. But that's a sign of a good strategy game, the first playthrough should be baffling. A learning curve. Civ 4 will always be the best for the sheer depth of play, it requires a mathematics degree to beat Deity. Civ 5 felt like playing childrens first civ in comparison. 6 looks like it has more depth of strategy, I'm impressed so far.

Yeah, I've not played much CIv in the past, but spent about 90 hours on Civ VI so far (yet to complete a full match though i keep restarting for some reason) But still even though a lot of this I've figured out, there's constantly little things that I haven't figured out, so there's still lots to learn here.

As a complete noob to the series, who had absolutely no idea what to do or how to do it, this video is great. I found a lot of tutorial stuff for this game, but most is tips, and specific tutorials. Even some that say basic, or beginner, etc.., still way too specific. This video is hands down the best at explaining all the basics for a beginner. So thank you. A lot of things make much more sense now.

I love how approachable and how indepth you are. I played Civ V and have 40 hours on Civ VI, but never felt like i played the game right. Already learning so much! Thank you :)

[@NotARealPerson12345]

You're just natural at teaching. well done

[@jkoclanis67]

Your videos are exactly what I've been looking for! I've been wanting to play Civ games for years, but was always too confused and intimidated by them. You've made it so clear. Looking forward to the rest of the videos!

[@murat9000]

Dude, this is one of the best tutorial videos I've ever watched about anything. Yesterday I was uninstalling the game after playing it once not understanding a single thing that's happening. Then I saw your tutorial and it's been 24/7 since then. Keep it up.

[@nickmiller9305]

This game has hit me in waves. Easier difficulties give you the illusion that specific actions and builds help more than they actually do. Building some wonders over others only helps you half as much as you’d think. I go from building as much as I can in my cities as quickly as possible, to carefully choosing which districts I do and don’t want and where they go. As well as resisting the urge to build things that sound nice but I know won’t fully help me in the long run.

[@tric5122]

Unlike other games w/a numeral after them, Civ are all very different games, and your preconceived ideas from past civ games can and will throw you off. Thanks for doing this, and having it just be the vanilla. all the others I found had the mods, which I don't purchasse. I've played and won, but never got a good score on civ6, I know there are mechanics I'm missing so I'm hoping to find out what I'm missing.

[@seany0468]

Thankyou so much for teaching me how to play Civilization VI. I no longer feel completely overwhelmed with the huge learning curve this game offers and appreciate your help immensely. Cheers!

I've played since the original Civ game released. Never really understood it until I watch your tutorial. Outstanding!! Thanks.

Amazing tutorials man. I usually get super bored with tutorials but yours is actually both entertaining and informative. Cheers!

[@mateuszkrzastek]

Dude you're really good at explaining the gameplay. Thanks for the series :)

[@jeromerowley5166]

I’ve had Civ 6 for over a year, but gave up playing and returned to playing Civ 5. Your videos are helping me get used to the new mechanics of the game-and I love the tips regarding features that are easy to overlook on a first play through, like the map pins. I use that feature all the time now! Thanks!

[@inspiringminds7284]

Which civ do you prefer 5 or 6?

[@phelps_gaming7541]

I've been playing civilization revolution on my xbox one and wanted to play the new one on PC since steam has this on sell for $15 it's so different but you explain everything so well! Great attitude my guy!

Just bought the game and jumped in to be completely lost, and thanks for the awesome tutorials!

[@willd.8040]

Man, what a great job you have done with this tutorial! Everything is explained so well and so in-depth, that I'm already starting to understand how to play the game MUCH more than before. Kudos, and thanks!

[@dustywhite2]

Really wordy, but entertaining and extremely informative. I have been "playing" (around with) Civ since Civ 5 (for several years), but I hate reading through pages and pages of rules to enjoy a game-which is supposed to be a break from all of the reading I do on an hourly basis. That is what makes this series so awesome. You learn all kinds of small details that make sense once you know them, but are non-obvious in the middle of a game. Civ 6 is so much more complex than Civ 5, and the numerous buttons and menus and visual clutter overwhelm the new player from even trying to master this game. I subscribed so I can watch these videos in small bites, and over time really master this game-which keeps me from buying several other games. So in a sense, these videos save me hundreds of dollars over the next few years.

[@MyWORDisntGospel]

Thank you. This and the previous video have really helped me out. Can’t wait to watch the rest. I got this game on mobile and just found out its coming to PS4. These videos are so important for a newbie like myself. Thanks again! Edit: Got it on PS4 and I’m loving it even more!

[@pigeonshouse]

Thanks for these. It's a good refresher for people like me who stopped playing Civ V a few years back and also teaches you the new things you can do in Civ VI :)

[@johnblunt6693]

Wouldn't it play better on PC?

[@towermon54]

John Blunt as far as I can tell it plays really smoothly on the switch and still plays just like it’s pc counterpart though the graphics aren’t as good but then again that depends on your pc build as well.

[@ShenLong991]

Well... now after the Switch Release i'm really disappointed by it... The Lack of Multiplayer-choices are sad. I could live without the Online Multiplayer, but the Hot-Seat Mode is the most needed feature for me, that it hurts, that it lacks. I bought Civ6 for Switch. b'cause i saw "4 Player Multiplayer"... and don't realized that it's literally in offline-multiswitch-multiplayer mode only... I'm sad...

I've played all Civ games since the original and Civ VI seems to be the one giving me the hardest time. I played on easy trying to get a tech victory and ended up having to invade Greece to stop them from getting a cultural victory only to have England beat me cause they had like 5 space ports and I only had one spy destroying their capitals space port and didn't even notice the others until it was too late. I don't know why the AI seems so good on easy mode. It was a cake walk until the end. These tutorials might help even a veteran player. Also, I really miss the palace/throne room and the soldiers marching into cities from the original Civilization game. And the opening still gives me cold chills.
