Damn I just realized I just bought a 10 + year old game and I'm absolutely addicted to it like nothing ever before.

This video gets more and more views whenever there is a steam sale.

Hey Rob I just wanted to say you have done an excellent job with this tutorial video. You explained the complexities of the game eloquently. Because of this I'm really sad to see that you aren't making videos anymore. I would have loved to see an LP of Civ 5 with your commentary. I hope you start making videos again :)

I love how casually he reacts to finding Genghis Khan in the woods.

How long into the game until I get nuke threats from Gandhi?

Thank you! I'm just ten minutes in, but I've already picked up so much from this video.

How to play Civ V correctly:
Step 1. Be Venice (wait don't leave it gets good)
Step 2. Build yo trade routes (preferably sea based)
Step 3. Remain neutral as possible with other civs, while allying every city state possible
Step 4. Once you're drowning in cash, pay civs to go to war with each other (fund the probable losing party, if possible)
Step 5. Lol
Step 6. Become the host of the W.C.
step 7. Become the blind, rich, hilariously politically manipulative world leader

Just want to say that as a new player, this tutorial was very very helpful. It's basic but you cover more advanced topics as you go along. Thanks

[wwkcd]

I bought the game today for 12 dollars. this was very useful!!!

[hyperdude]

Started a new play-through, met Caesar, he gave me 5 Iron for free.

10/10 would trade with him again.

[ThePeagull]

I'm only 5 mins in but I have already got more useful info out of this video than watching my friends play this for hours and playing through the tutorials myself. If this carries on I'll actually be able to play the game! Thanks for a great vid

[bosanac]

Also another pro tip. After pottery pick up writing so you can get the great library. This great wonder gives you a free tech and if you time it right you can instantly research Iron working. Which can give you a massive advantage early on and save you about 20 turns.

[ImadZeryouh]

You did A hell of a great job explaining the game! At first I was just spamming units and never took notice on influence and citizens and just go to war like any RTS game lol. But you actually got to be clever and capture resources from the enemy. It is already 2015 but I still wish you good health with your sore throat. 3+ HP!!

Thank you!!

*Hears steam message notification*
*Checks Steam and sees no new message*
*Realizes that its on the video and feels stupid*

[DutchGamingDaily]

5:22 took me 10 minutes to figure out it wasnt my steam.

[virunee]

As a total beginner at Civ, I found this tutorial SO helpful! Great for understanding the basics in what can be quite a complicated game :D Thanks!!

It's a shame that some viewers on here are complaining about drinking noises etc. on this video, when BlameRobVideos has spent a whole hour and 22 minutes of his own time trying to help new Civilization players. There really are some ungrateful little shits on this planet, who take everything, complain about it, yet give nothing back apart from arsy little moans. This video has really helped me get into Civilization, and I don't bemoan the guy for taking a couple of drinks during that time.

One thing that works really well for me is the point defense system. That means that you build forts/citadels on strategic points like hills overlooking narrow passage ways or on the tip of a landmass. Then you place an artillery unit inside it. What this does is it precludes opponents from wanting to attack from those directions because to do so would cause them to lose many men. Part of what goes into this is where you build your cities. Location location location. It is everything. You can build your capitol region (your capitol and cities that directly surround it. I.e. The birthplace of your civilization) either in easily defended regions like around the Mediterranean and where the real world city of Istanbul is. Another great area is the south east US and the Caribbean area. That place makes a great natural harbor. So build cities at the necessary places and build forts on the Caribbean islands and you have a fortress harbor.
