Hi All,

So I have just joined here. Bit of background, is i had played an older Civ, and it always had good memories. Just playing for fun.
I then downloaded Civ 6 onto PS4, PS5, PC, and switch.
As the first 3 belong to my son, and I am not much of a 'gamer', I tend to play on the Switch mostly, as this is the one console myself and the wife play a lot on.

So, I have never really delved deep into game play or tactics, and kind of just enjoyed winging it, playing through and seeing how it goes.

But I have Civ-7, and had it pre-ordered. I've played about an hour or 2, and it does seem fun, as well as visually impressive!
But I want to be better, and understand exactly what it is i am doing.
Does anyone have some good links to YouTube pages or videos, or a creator in mind, who can start at the beginning and explain not just what you do, but a little on why and what that choice does.
I really want to try get better overall, and the game itself does ease my ADHD brain, where it feels a lot calmer!

So and YouTube videos would be good, or if anyone has some basic tips around different parts of the game.

I am also curious, is Civ 7 a game you can play against / with real people online? Or is it all against computer / AI?

Videos do work better than articles, as that's easier for me to focus. I am not an idiot, or stupid. I do have various companies i run. So it's not about reading, but more being able to take in the information properly which I am better with in video form than reading.

Anyway, thanks in advance for anything you can all help with.
 
I’ve found this channel’s videos quite thorough- I liked his Age of Empires 4 content and now he seems to have turned his focus to Civ 7.


And don’t worry there are shorter ones focused on the first 10 turns and settling etc…

Thanks for this!! I will throw them on and learn all i need to!

I don't suppose you know if there is an option to play online against / with others? Not sure if that's a thing 🤷🏾‍♂️😂

Yes there is! I haven’t tried it yet so can’t say how stable connections are, but there is online multiplayer on all platforms.
