I love the irony of the Great Salt Lake being a source of fresh water. Games can be silly sometimes lol.

Civilization has become way to in depth for me. The last Sid Meier's games I played were Civilization and Pirates for the XBox360. I'm going to watch Echo here because he does a great job but my attention span may not last long seeing as this is a guide and not a let's play.

The civilopedia doesn't tell you how to play the game.

Hey! Civ 6 and 2 expansions (plus other dlc) are on sale on steam right now if ur watching this! 15 bucks!

Thanks Echo - good guide. My biggest suggestion for those new to Civ is to save often. A lot of learning happens when something happens that destroys your civ and you think you figured out why but you should test it out by going back to the point of failure. I love the fact that you haven't even talked about barbarians and City States yet

I know I'm a little late to the game.But an absolute beginner's guide to civilization should have included how to set up your first game.

I will never play this game, but I watched it anyway. Just for you. Normal speed, no skipping, all the way to the end.

Thank you Echo! As someone who has played civ for many years now, it’s interesting to watch the beginners guide, as I know there’s a lot I don’t know. Case in point: thank you for showing how the “working of tiles” mechanics operates as I knew “of” that ability but didn’t understand how to use it or what it’s good for. And secondly, the fine function - wow! All those times I would hunt the map for a specific resource and I had no idea I could search for it so easily!

Excellent explanation of all of the basic mechanics and resources! Other tutorials often assume we know basic things like why production is or food is valuable. Best guide I’ve seen yet!

I've never played a civilization game ever but I just picked up the game on the steam sale so here I am

Thank you for clearly explaining the game at a good and steady pace without distractions.

You are one of the best person, I have ever seen to explain game in such a way...! Salute to you. Going for the second part.

I have never played a Civilization game before and your guide is absolutely amazing! It helped me get started in this game after numerous failed attempts in the past due to lack of knowing what to do. I thank you for this beginner guide series. 5/5!

Amazing tutorial. Thank you so much. I love the game so far, but man is that learning curve steep. I appreciate the hard work and knowledge. Be safe.

This is the best video I’ve seen thus far in trying to figure out how to play this game! Thank you!

I'm looking forward to this series! I've played a few games since you introduced Civ VI to us, but I'm sure there are a lot of little things I'm missing. Keep up the good work~!

Thank you Echo! bro i have watched so many tutorials and this is the first one to take the time to explain some of the details most just skim over i learned so much!

I always find this game fascinating. Don't think I'll ever pick it up, but I appreciate you making a guide if I ever decide to 🥰 thank you for everything you do!

Good morning Echo! Thanks for the helpful video and start of my CIV addiction

Love the walk through!
