What an excellent series! Thank you for the clear explanations and the way you show us the choices we can make, rather than the usual "do this, do that" we tend to see elsewhere. Very useful.
These videos are such a incredible tool for beginners, I've been able to figure out most of these mechanics on my own from playtime in Civ V, but having them reaffirmed in a way like this is great! You've got a very relaxing and easy to understand voice, along with a good demonstration of what you're doing in the video to go with your commentary. Consider myself subscribed!
Man this is by far the best content for learning this game. There's quite a learning curve and you've built on concepts so well I finally know what I'm doing now lol
I’m playing on the switch and feel this is the PC? - same principles though I’ve learnt so much! I’m on my first ever run through, currently around turn 126/500 as Rome. I’ve found it a bit of a struggle but this video has really helped! I’ve been afraid to do something wrong for some reason haha! But I will keep at it until I win summin 😂
If you could do a first 20 turns or 30 turns that would be great! I feel like I may not be utilizing things early on as everyone else seems pretty further on than I am in the game
yes this is PC, but the game should be the same regardless of what system you play on. imo start off on lower levels (prince - level 4 and below) until you get the hang of things and slowly starting inching up. Emperor (level 6) is where things start to get more difficult and for your second comment - I have another series on my channel (which I still plan on continuing) where I do a more let's play style of tutorial which you can check out!
Again, thank you! What sucks though , as an Irish person , is that there's an Irish city state in the game but zero way of playing as an Irish civ, or even Celtic, I'd settle for Boudica even.... Feels weird having to conquer my homeland lol
yeah unfortunately not. closest you'll get in civ 6 would probably be england and scotland, but assuming you don't consider either of those as your homeland haha. civ 5 actually had boudica and i THINK there might be mods in civ 6 to play as other civs - might want to do some searching and see if there's an irish or celtic modded civ that someone created
The Gauls were the Celtic tribes that settled in what the Romans called Gaul so thematically you could chose the Gauls. Before Canada was added I would play England and just rename my cities using Canadian names. So as Gaul you got the green colour units and thematic warrior unit.
Thanks bro I appreciate you taking the time to check em out! Let me know if there's any help you might need or interesting historical people you might be interested in and I'll try my best to get stuff out!
if you do war just leavy nearest citystate and attack allmost never fails AI cant keep up with the huge boost in military strength especially with hungary even on deity
He's not kidding about the experimentation with religion, it's one of the most flexible aspects about the game now, which I love. You can be evangelical, diplomatic, peace seeking holy men and women all the way to warmongering zealots. I personally prefer to set my religions up in a.. slightly cynical view of modern-day religious structures, all about the tithe baby! Mix that in with evolving your religion to spread like a plague, means by the end of the day, most of the map will be worshiping your religion.. and most of those citizens are going to take some of their paycheck and send it all the way across the world to you.. it gets ridiculous. My holy wars consist of almost every sieve fighting me and most of the city-states, they all hate me because 2,000 years previously I sent my zealots out to scream on every corner in the world.. now the first world war in my civilization game is a 1 vs 7 war but I'm ultimately winning because everyone in their Nation puts their religion just a little bit higher than their country night.. :o
I like how you talk about sieging and stuff (which is very helpful) and before watching this I cleared my continent of enemies with 3 warriors and a catapult I just found it really funny
@@MohProbs any tips maintaining conquered cities? I tried to make builders but it took too long, and i had to spent gold for bombards or offensive units, the citizens keep rebelling while other civilization tried to spread their religions
a few things you can try - move governors into the city (gives loyalty), add loyalty / amenity government policies, build loyalty buildings (monument), get more amenities (whether through your improvements or trade), increase your population in nearby cities to exert more loyalty pressure, or be really fast and conquer their cities to reduce pressure on cities closer to you
This video doesn’t have nearly enough likes it’s the most helpful one I’ve come across so far you don’t hold our hand through it you explain the game better and it’s easier to understand
After watching your videos I see where I have messed up I focused too much on two cities making wonders and not having an army these are great videos btw
@@MohProbs I played civ5 and I felt it was so much easier to get science victory or really any victory but I also bought the city states and they gifted me units and I built an army that way cheeky I know lol I did manage a dip victory with Korea the other day but I turned off science victory
yes i remember victories in civ 5 being a lot more simplistic overall, although it's been a while since i played. civ 6 just has a lot more to manage i feel
I believe that as long as you have it next to a city, melee units (so like warriors, swordsmen) should be able to attack health directly. Depending on what expansion you have I think anti-cav units should be able to too
above the minimap there should be a button that lets you turn on different icons and UI elements. i think part 1 of my tips series should have a quick explanation
i'm actually not sure... i looked through my mods but couldn't seem to identify it so it might be a mod i have since removed. if i find out i will definitely let you know
Question: I send a missionary to spread the word to a neutral civ. They didnt like it and the options were that i would oblige (earn world congress pts) or to ignore em (and earn grievance points). If i chose the first option. Is there a bigger penalty for continuing my proselytizing? If not, why would anyone choose the second option?
good question and to be honest i'm not SUPER familiar with how the grievance system works (i kinda ignore it to be honest), but based on my understanding, obliging gives you diplomatic favor which allows you to vote on things, but if you make a promise and then continue to spread your religion, I believe you will get a larger grievance penalty (100 for breaking the promise +25 for additional issues). On the otherhand, ignoring it gives you 25 grievance immediately with +25 for additional issues. So overall fewer greivances honestly though... i don't see any reason why you shouldn't take the first option, unless you really want to be friends with the guy
i'm not sure that you can see the standing of every city state, but i'm pretty sure that by default the city state tab will show the amount of envoys for the suzerain and the next highest competitor. it's possible it's a mod though (been playing with mods so long that i'm not even sure anymore)
