Just last week, we shared a new video which taught you the very basics of Civilization VI, the strategy game heading to Switch for the very first time next month. Now, part two of the series has been uploaded, so make sure to sit back and learn all about it if you're looking to try the game out at launch.
Presented in the same, jaunty style as the first episode, this video guides us through key actions within each turn. Things kick off with a look at 'researching', with an explanation of the two main research trees and how they can strengthen your civilisation in different ways. We also get a quick look at the game's movement, how to use scouts, why building is important, and even a sneak peek at different ways to attack.
You can see the video for yourself below, but make sure to check out Episode One first if you missed it earlier.
Are you thinking about grabbing a copy of Civilization VI when it launches on 16th November? Will this be your first time with the game? Let us know if you're finding these quirky episodes helpful in the comments.

This is looking better and better. I would never have thought Civilization would work well on a console, but this looks promising. Civ is one of my favorite PC franchises and I can't wait to play it on the go.
The last console version of Civ I played was Civ Revolution for the DS. Hopefully this one fairs better. Either way I am buying it.
I don't need videos to be persuaded, my preorder is already down. Now...how about porting the Borderlands series to the Switch, Take-Two Interactive? Or how about Bully? BioShock? XCOM?
I got it preorder just in case.
Enemy GANDHI used NUKE!
It's super effective!
I'm eagerly awaiting this for the Switch. I wanted to play this but my current pc does not have the specs to play this. I just hope the graphics and gameplay is on par with the pc version. I've had 2 other Civ games on consoles- Civ II on my PlayStation and Civ Revolution for the DS. The Civ II graphics were so terrible I had difficulty making out some units on the board. Civ Revolution was better but there really was only one way to win the game (basically you go all out blitzkrieg...).
If there's one console that may suit a strategy game like Civilitation, that's the Switch. I hope it perfoms well, docked and undocked, and if so, I hope the market responds, to proof that there's audience in Switch for this kind of stuff.
A sure purchase as long as it doesn't bomb its review
Just ordered my copy! It was between this and Diablo for me, and Civ 6 just looks way more fun and deep to me based on my preferences.
I actually got a gaming PC just for this game. Technically my brother built me my PC and bought me this game as a gift, but he did so because he knew I was thinking about getting a PC for this game.
I never actually thought it would come to consoles, and I certainly never thought it'd come to Switch, much less as a Switch console exclusive.
Diablo 3 is on a tear right now in the eShop charts even as a preorder, and on Amazon already in the top 20. But this game seems to be getting over looked, despite being just as exciting as seeing Diablo 3 come to Switch.
My old PC will only run Civ V so I am severally tempted to buy this.
@oninowon You can't beat a bit of global domination!
@Frenean I always thought Nintendo should have made a push to get more simulation and real time strategy titles on the WiiU, where they would have worked really well... but Nintendo screwed that up.
@roboshort No kidding, I always thought the exact same thing. Whenever someone wondered how to make the Wii U gamepad's uniqueness more useful, I'd always suggest games like Civ, SimCity or Heroes of Might and Magic.
@roboshort
Well they're getting my favorite one now, so it's all good as far as I'm concerned.
I don't need any persuasion. All they had to say is "a full port of Civilization 6 on the Switch" and they had my money. Day 1.
@JaxonH For me, this is a way cooler thing. Even though I intend to buy both.
I hope hotseat multiplayer will be there. A guaranteed buy for me.
@roboshort RTS games never worked well on a console. Gamepads are crappy compared to keyboard and mouse when playing RTS games. TBS games, however, have thrived on consoles. My favorite has been Dai Senryaku: Modern Military Tactics for the Xbox. For Nintendo, it has been the Advance War series on its handhelds. I'm not counting TBS rpgs.
@Nico_D My biggest concern will be the graphics and how much is sacrificed in porting over to the Switch.
