Beginner's guide?

[CivNoob36]

New to the game, I found the Civopedia, section in the game but I am a total noob and needing some sort of guide that fully explains things. Does that exist?

Good question. I’ll try and find you something

The in game tutorial is pretty good. Did you check it out already?

We should have a guide compilation that explains things easily. Might be useful for beginners. Maybe by going to a website builder like hpage to create a free website just to gather all resources and information.

Hi!

I'm totally new to Civ so I'm trying to grasp as many things as I can.
I'm going through the Beginner's Guide.

I’m new to Civ, first day of play today and I played through the tutorial but there are some things the tutorial doesn’t cover and I couldn’t figure out what certain icons mean.

1. The ‘red !’ when looking to place a a district.
2. The sun symbol on the warrior unit action bar.
3. The dot symbol on the settlement bar that appear next to the head symbol

Sorry if I’m not using the correct names for symbols.
I play one game after the tutorial and was wiped out and it was clear that the tutorial really doesn’t go into explaining the intricacies of the politics and tactics.

Are there any good YouTube basics videos recommendations?

Hi @Andrew Reed

You can press on the minus (-) button of the controller at any time to get a description of what a button does. That would help you identify its function.

• #1 : The Red ! indicates that if you build the district on that particular tile, a caracteristic of that tile will be suppressed by the district (it may be a forest, a marsh, a farm building, etc.)
• In the case of question #2, the sun serves to wake up a particular unit.
• #3 : I did not find the "dot symbol" you were referring to, but if you use the - button, you can have a description of its function.

I've linked to a written Beginner's guide for Civilization VI in the fifth post of this thread. I hope it helps.
