Civilization VI Absolute Beginners Guide - Part 1

PSA for anyone who wants to buy the DLC but is short on money: if you buy just Gathering Storm you'll also have access to all the gameplay features added by Rise and Fall, so your game will be complete, you'll just be missing a handful of civilizations, leaders and wonders.

Ah, Civilization. But are you really playing if you don’t have Nuclear Ghandi?

Good morning Echo! Thanks for the helpful video and start of my CIV addiction

"this is a basic beginner for those new to civ" then proceeds to neglect how to start the game menu with all of its options of size etc
....

I´m Scared :D start die game befor 2 Days... I´m _happy for your videos!!!

When start to play ONI you are there, when i start to play civ6 you are here.

Take my sub!

I want to get my wife into Civ VI. Hopefully your tutorials will ease her transition from IV.

Nice shitty voice

Rise of nations extended edition is the best rts game of all time we need to bring more people on to this classic game

Have had this game forever, hardly played it

I comment to help statistics

I’ve never played a civilization game before and I bought it on sale today. I played 8 hours without taking a break before I had to force myself to get off😅

I'm from Utah and I can most certainly say that the Great Salt Lake is most definitely NOT fresh water lol

Subbed and following for more on Civ 6.

This is the best video I’ve seen thus far in trying to figure out how to play this game! Thank you!

your didactic is amazing. thank you for such clarity.

Thank you Echo! bro i have watched so many tutorials and this is the first one to take the time to explain some of the details most just skim over i learned so much!

Amazing tutorial. Thank you so much. I love the game so far, but man is that learning curve steep. I appreciate the hard work and knowledge. Be safe.

Hey! Civ 6 and 2 expansions (plus other dlc) are on sale on steam right now if ur watching this! 15 bucks!

Very informative. Thank you.

Always wanted to play this and saw it on sale on steam with all the expansions for only $25 so I snatched it up. Now, I need to learn how to play. Thank you!

I only played civ revolution on Xbox and I completely completed it 100% but this game is much more complex. I'm interested in learning more on it.

Thank you for clearly explaining the game at a good and steady pace without distractions.

Just bought this game, all the other guides had erratic commentary/unnecessary jokes... making it impossible to follow their guides and absorb information.

Keen to watch the rest of this series and check out the rest of your channel, thank you!

Good stuff i think.. never played the game so Hard to tell.. but good stuff i think!

I played the first civilization decided now that i need to play civilization 6.

I think this is perhaps the best tutorial I've ever watched, on any subject.

I have never played a Civilization game before and your guide is absolutely amazing! It helped me get started in this game after numerous failed attempts in the past due to lack of knowing what to do. I thank you for this beginner guide series. 5/5!

got this on the switch, not really played it. Think I got it for free. Tried it once or twice then binned it off because it was overwhelming lol. Might give it another go now, thank you. Love your ONI videos, you've got me hooked on it. Love your calm relaxing voice. Keep up the good work!

Im trying to get into civ6, i can see the quality, and many of the seemingly interesting ideas but it doesnt really click that much.

Idk if its just the game is shallow or it doesnt explain what matters or not.
Like the tbs combat and exploration, hard to really try use the knowledge i found about it, ends up just being group your guys to have support. Idk.

Then the trees, u just get one after another.
I want to enjoy it more, gonna check your vid.
Maybe partly problem is im on the console version idk. The ui is different.
I dont have that search in map u show even.

Edit: now i notice u talk of dark age, floods etc, that's in dlcs.
Im on base game, maybe that's why im missing features too in the base game like that wt map search.

Also, i don't think i can rotate camera like u can on pc.
And i cant cycle thru my units directly, u need scroll the units list on console, the ui and controls arent up to the pc version, even if neat all in all.

This helped me get back in the series the last time I played the series was cavitation revolution and that game was awesome

i put in "garrison strength" in the civilopedia and got no result. So i've still no idea how that works

The civilopedia doesn't tell you how to play the game.

Thanks for the overview!

the game no matter how hard i try is just to stupid and boring, i cant even figure out how to make citizens the menu system sucks, all it keeps saying is move unit builder or end turn, nothing else i can find to make something else happen, not played it before, ive try several times, but i just cant seem to progress even the basic move tile / build something. keep saying move unit nothing else happens other then reading menu's with nothing to do on them on all the other buttons

I played the heck out of Civ IV, didn't touch Civ V much and it's been a while since I did. Recently picked up Civ VI and have been chewing my lip over starting it... and who should have a beginner's series but Echo :'D
Smashing, clean and evenly paced, easy to follow along. Interesting to see things I recognize from IV reskinned with new changes and additions.

lost af

This game is complicated af

You are one of the best person, I have ever seen to explain game in such a way...! Salute to you. Going for the second part.

I know I'm a little late to the game.But an absolute beginner's guide to civilization should have included how to set up your first game.

I've never played a civilization game ever but I just picked up the game on the steam sale so here I am

Excellent explanation of all of the basic mechanics and resources! Other tutorials often assume we know basic things like why production is or food is valuable. Best guide I’ve seen yet!

First and last Civ game I played was 3. I just bought 6 today 😎

Loved your ONI content, just bought Civ VI on sale and was overwhelmed af and then remembered you did a beginners guide - and it makes the tutorial make soooo much more sense!! I love your walkthrough style!

This guide is crazy good. Thanks a lot for your work!

I just started playing. No clue how to play. This guide isn't helpful at all. Over complicates everything. Does not explain basics and does not explain it clearly.

If you're going to do a beginner guide, then explain the badics first. And actually clearly. You don't need to go through the whole interface. I cannot even play this game because I don't know how.

Why not just start with explaining what you get at the start and what is there? And actual clear info in on basic things needed to know at the start. Starting units. Making a settlement and how that works. Including citizen and population and difference from units. There's no clear explanation on this about max population.

This is hands down the best video explaining the basics of Civ IV - and it's not even close. Well done sir!

Just started the video, but thank you already for making a video for absolute newbs like me. I picked up civ 4 way back when, on turn 1 (I was an RTS player at the time) I walked around the map not knowing wtf to do ... eventually was approached by a trader that said hey trade this for that, and before I knew it, I didn't have the resources to build my city. ALT + F4 returned copy never looked back. PTSD confirmed. Hopefully your videos will help, I look forward to them, thank you and God Bless! :D

I hope this guide helps me. It's my first game in this genre at all, & I just spent over 2 hours running around in the 6 squares I can move in, building 1 guy, accomplishing nothing, skipping turns up to 20 & now I'm quitting to go to sleep. I feel like my heart was ripped out of my chest & it was used to murder my family in front of me.
