I don't know whether civ6 works the same way, but I had a similar issue in CK2 fixed by going to config.ini (or a similar file) and changing a certain condition value from "0" to "1" which controlled the resolution. I can't get on my desktop right now to see for myself, but you could try that in the meanwhile

Is the native resolution of your laptop 2560x1600? Flat screen displays are designed to run at a set native resolution. However, you can normally select a resolution lower than the native resolution. But you normally can't set it higher.
EG I run a Samsung 32" curved monitor. Its resolution is 3440 x 1440. I could select a lower resolution than 3440 x 1440. I checked my copy of Civ 6, and for some reason it will allow me to select a larger resolution than 3440 x 1440. But this just makes the display look al weird and shows only a portion of the normal display.
I have no idea why you can only select one resolution. A driver issue maybe?

Are you accessing this from within the game or from the main menu? Because certain options are only enabled if you access Settings from the main menu

From the main menu unfortunately

IS it because my laptop is a weird screen size? Think it is 15.5 o something, unlike the normal 15.2 or whatever. I do recall it being slightly different to any I have seen beofre by about .2 or 3

Have you tried other games, to see if you can change resolution in those?

Found solution here

If you go to Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization VI

in the folder there is a text file called appoptions.txt
open the file and find where it says

;Render width in pixels.
RenderWidth 2560

;Render height in pixels.
RenderHeight 1440

and change to your prefered resoultion save and restart your game it should load in the resolution you have selected

If you can't find App options.txt there, try C\Users\USER_NAME\AppData\Local\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization VI
