    Welcome to my official Sid Meier's Civilization V (Civ 5) CZcams Tutorial Series! Founded in 2016 and revitalized in 2021! Civ 5 is perhaps one of the best 4x strategy games of all time. This series will cover over civ v tips and tricks for beginners as I guide you through how to settle a city, what cultural policies to choose, how to tech up fast, how to take cities, win wars, defend your lands, negotiate peace, take to the seas and much more!
    About the game:
    Sid Meier's Civilization V is a 4X video game in the Civilization series developed by Firaxis Games. The game was released on Microsoft Windows in September 2010,[3] on OS X on November 23, 2010, and on Linux on June 10, 2014.
    In Civilization V, the player leads a civilization from prehistoric times into the future on a procedurally generated map, attempting to achieve one of a number of different victory conditions through research, exploration, diplomacy, expansion, economic development, government and military conquest. The game is based on an entirely new game engine with hexagonal tiles instead of the square tiles of earlier games in the series.[5] Many elements from Civilization IV and its expansion packs have been removed or changed, such as religion and espionage (although these were reintroduced in its subsequent expansions). The combat system has been overhauled, by removing stacking of military units and enabling cities to defend themselves by firing directly on nearby enemies.[6] In addition, the maps contain computer-controlled city-states and non-player characters that are available for trade, diplomacy and conquest. A civilization's borders also expand one tile at a time, favoring more productive tiles,[7] and roads now have a maintenance cost, making them much less common.[8] The game features community, modding, and multiplayer elements.[5] It is available for download on Steam.
    Its first expansion pack, Civilization V: Gods & Kings, was released on June 19, 2012, in North America and June 22 internationally. It includes features such as religion, espionage, enhanced naval combat and combat AI, as well as nine new civilizations.[9]
    A second expansion pack, Civilization V: Brave New World, was announced on March 15, 2013. It includes features such as international trade routes, a world congress, tourism, great works, as well as nine new civilizations, eight additional wonders, and three ideologies. It was released on July 9, 2013, in North America and in the rest of the world three days later.

    I'm a bit late to the party, but I'll comment anyway.
    Firstly, thank you for such an informative video. You cover all the essentials at an easy to follow pace without getting lost in the fine details. This makes your video accessible and useful to new players who've completed the tutorial and older players like me who haven't played the game in a number of years and have forgotten the subtleties of the game.
    Secondly, it's really refreshing to find a 'Starting off in Civilisation 5' video that's not 1 and a half hours long or not just list of tips that only sorta half work, depending on the situation.
    Thirdly, I just noticed the second video recommended, so I'm glad there's a little more content from you - although the comments suggest you don't use this channel anymore.
    Lastly, thanks again for helping me up my Civilization game. I've played along with the whole series as its evolved - and the layers of complexity and future decision making in this version are staggering! It's still good to see some of the old features and behaviours still in the game.
    Anyway. Enough of my ramble. Time to build a city that lasts the test of time!

I played for 3 hrs ( that one more turn thing is so true lol, I was like I will play for an hour, and its 3 already), idk for some reason my city's happiness fell, 2 barbarian camps attacked my city, a city state who was my friend unfriended me for coming inside his borders? But I rmbr him saying u can move freely through my borders. Idk. Maybe these friendships are timed things? After all these I got panic anxiety and some other stuff, so I ended that session lolz.

  • @s0lid_sno0ks

    Shouldn't a scout always be the first choice? Finding ruins/uncovering the map is key early on.

    • @Nemesis_T_Type
      @Nemesis_T_Type Před 5 lety +13

      Yes. Scout/Monument is the optimal choice. People often underestimate the benefit of finding ruins and city states. The only time you want to build monument first is if you want to get a quick Settler from the Liberty policy.

    • @JumboPixel
      @JumboPixel  Před 4 lety +4

      There's some logic in taking other routes, like the monument, depending on what end game/ mid game strategy your pushing for. Also, the pace of your second and third settles matters here too.

  • @Frag665
    @Frag665 Před 3 lety +13

    7:43 - use production focus.
    Due to game mechanics, this means you get free production when your city grows (the food is added, the new citizen gets assigned to the highest production tile, and *then* the production is counted).
    You can then lock your new citizen to the highest-yield (or highest-food) tile.

    I'm not sure but since your luxury ressources are built on forest, you can't improve them untill you have discovered mining.
    Also there is no interest in making both your warrior and your scout take the same route, scout should have gone beyond Indonesia.
    Finally, Great Library is so hard to build on high difficulties so that you shouldn't delay it this much if you want to built it (the tradition bonus will help you a lot though).

    Good video. Nice and clear generally. Couple of things: would you normally have your warrior and scout exploring nearly the same terrain? Seems to me you could be limiting your chances of finding ancient ruins that way? My brother usually dives for Stonehenge quickly and generally does pretty well at that because of the huge religion boost. Thoughts on that? Also, the pronunciation of the capital of Latvia, Riga, is REE-ga. So you know.

  • @swahiliranger1022
    @swahiliranger1022 Před 4 lety +4

    It seems like the only real way to win (especially on higher difficulties) is to amass a large amount of money and religion early. On emperor, if you get a good starting position you can do this with venice or boudicca, or perhaps a few others but frankly it's tough to cheese the AI when they're so aggressive and get so many bonuses on higher levels of difficulty. The four city tradition start still ends up being the best unless you can't found a city with at least one luxury resource for the most part. I still find it damn challenging to keep up with the ai when they have more researched at the beginning as well as the fact that they crank out wonders before you even research them. You can stay on top by founding 4 great cities by least until your first war and then it's a 50/50 chance your screwed completely.

    I got the impression that the game always tries to set you so the city could work 2 luxury resources, but not 3 or 4 (these are usually _slightly_ further - four or five hexes away). This means that quite often, by moving slightly, you can cover more than two. A capital on the coast with the river, 3-4 luxury resources, and usually 1-2 strategicals makes for an awesome trading hub.

  • @spaceangelmewtwo9074
    @spaceangelmewtwo9074 Před 3 lety +2

    Personally, if it were me, since you had a good idea for a new city, I would have produced a settler at 3 pop when the worker finished, but that's just me I suppose. I like to have all my cities settled as soon as possible so that they're all as close to equally valuable as possible and no other civs settle a city in a place where I want to settle a city, because then you have to go to war, and it becomes a mess. And the timing is also good because I like to start production on my settlers on turns where the city making the settler just got a new citizen since settlers make cities stagnate, although growing the capital first and waiting for four or five pop is also valid. I only point it out because, if you find a city location that you feel strongly about when scouting and that city might be competing for a resource you want with another city that isn't part of your empire, as is your case here with the gems, you really probably want to get that settler out ASAP.
    I also personally would have gone into a shrine rather than a granary to start out with to start producing faith per turn and start earning points towards a Great Prophet, because you always always always want to found a pantheon and a religion as soon as possible to make sure you can get the best religion bonuses for your civilization. A lot of them can allow you to turn certain tiles into incredibly productive tiles that give you a crazy amount of different bonuses. For example, in this game, you started with a lot of desert nearby, and that could possibly lead into going for Petra to significantly boost your productivity, and therefore you would want Desert Folklore as part of your pantheon if you were going to do that in order to really maximize that Petra play. Alternatively, you could go with Monument to the Gods to increase the production of ancient and classical wonders to speed up the production of both the Great Library and Petra. Ideally you'd be able to make use of one of the beliefs that adds faith and culture to nearby luxury resources so you could get the religion you want, but you didn't get any of those.
    One last gripe. You accepted Venice's embassy for free. Never, ever do that. Accepting embassies in return for an embassy in their capital might be okay if you have no idea where they are, but you knew where Venice was, so Venice gets to learn where your capital is for free. Not a huge gripe since Venice isn't a warmongering civ, but accepting Attila the Hun's embassy trade for example could end up being a very bad play, and even if the civ isn't warmongering, you should try and get some gold for your embassy.

    Also best thing for more balanced play is turn off ruins and natural wonders. Less snowballing that way.

    @justuslightworkers Před rokem

    I ALWAYS build the Monument first! Gets me to and through those policies a lot faster in early game. I generally take my time before settling more cities, so getting the free culture building policy will be had by then, especially if I go ahead and build a monument in my first city.
    In addition, for all you newbies, each civilization has their own unique abilities and strengths. Some are more aggressive and geared toward war (domination victory), some are more scientific (science victory) some are quite artsy and cultural (culture victory). The techs, policies, buildings, and units you choose will either help you tremendously with your strengths, or hinder you. I suggest you jumpstart yourself by researching about the different civilizations and what they are more geared toward as well as what each type of victory entails. For instance, Attila the Hun wouldn't be too good for a culture victory....... Get armies and Honor for him like crazy because he wants to fight with everyone!
    I really like your tutorial though! Quite on par!

    Just a tip, that's an awful location, no hills mean too little production which means it'll take forever to build things and a coastal city without water resources mean half your hexes will only yield two food and no chance of production, you'll need to remove the forests to build plantations and until the modern era you can get a hydroplant. Also, the first thing you want to build is scouts, two of them at least depending on the size of the map.

    @MrPlumpii Před 5 lety +2

    A little critique here as I am assuming you wish to learn yourself when you are trying to teach others. You said that it is generally best to build your city where your settler spawns because the game tends to spawn you in a location that is good for a city. Now there are a number of problems with this, the first one being that the game generally tends to focus on having two or more luxury resources within 3 tiles of your spawn, and in addition on stratigic balance there will be horses and iron aswell. This does not neccesarily equal a good city location. Things like having an adjacent mountain, hill/river and other 2 food 1 hammer or better resources that can be instantly worked by the city are very important to consider. I generally find myself moving my first settler one or maybe two turns to get a better capital. Ofcourse at times your initial spawn will be better but it just depends on so many different factors.

    • @MrPlumpii
      @MrPlumpii Před 5 lety

      If you want the great libary on immortal or diety you have to rush it instantly, even then it's normally a waste of time because the AI will get it 95% of the time. In your case you should have built a shrine pretty much as soon as it was available to rush desert folklore and ensure your religion. Granary dosn't give you much in your case, + food total, not really worth it that early on.

      I prefer liberty early over tradition. The bonuses to production of tile improvements, the possibility of getting the pyramids and the eventual overall boost to culture is far more beneficial in the long run. Of course, I play as Poland so I gain socials policies much faster too.

    • @SalelakaMokonzi
      @SalelakaMokonzi Před 6 lety

      @isvuswright4882 Před 6 lety

      @SalelakaMokonzi Před 6 lety

      SWEG MESTER It has been so long since I have only had four towns, that I don’t know how far back it sets me. As Poland I usually have 4 complete policy tracks by the time I get to choose Freedom, Order, or Autocracy. The main limit to my towns is available land and luxury resources. That made one game difficult because there was a huge swath of land available with plenty of resources open that I stopped expanding with 17 towns, as the Shoshone. That was tedious. Ten is manageable. Currently as Poland I am experimenting with starting tradition then jumping into liberty. So far I like it!

    Why go for the food and city expansion over the great library?? Resource tiles will always be there and it takes several turns to work the tiles you already have in your city. The great library on the other hand can be snagged by another civilization. After the granary if you built it you might find yourself 20 turns later nearly done constructing it and then boom another civ finishes it. You can never get wonders back but resources in your range arent going anywhere

    • @MatthewRoles
      @MatthewRoles Před 5 lety +1

      This is whats known as 'Opportunity Cost', or the idea that in the 15 or so turns (quick speed) it can take to rush Great Library, you could be settling cities (land can indeed be snagged by other civs) or constructing other infrastructure and getting a high population, which will affect your science game much more in the long run, than building the Great Library.
      I often opt to completely ignore the Great Library and instead pick up Temple of Artemis and Hanging Gardens after getting out a couple of settlements, this means my culture and growth will be significantly higher than that of other civs, and culture and growth directly lead to a strong science game.
