I never could get into Civ. Do you have any tutorials or a specific game edition to recommend? Maybe my issue is that it's too slow to get started with, but it seems like I'd enjoy it if I stuck with it.

  Fwiw I liked Civ 5 more, maybe give that one a go over Civ 6 if you haven't.

  Play civ 2 first. The newer civs have so much extra stuff to make it overwhelming.

    Ahh, that's a good idea, thanks!

  You either like it or you don’t. The inbuilt tutorial is pretty self explanatory and took me 15 mins to really get into it from scratch. It’s slow and turn based and that’s not for everyone. Factorio on the other hand took a while for me to start liking but that’s because it has a huge learning curve. I eventually got into it but it’s not something I crave playing.

    Hmm, I'll power through, thanks. I do love Factorio, though.

  Not a big Civ fan. I had way more fun with Paradox games like Crusader Kings. You can learn them by watching a Let's Play on YT. After watching a few hours of somebody play in a roll play fashion, I jumped in.

  The open source clone of 5/6 is pretty fast, games take less time when it's less flashy and more responsive: https://github.com/yairm210/Unciv https://github.com/yairm210/Unciv

    This is much more convenient than the full game, but I always get stuck in the tutorial because I can't find a button it asks me to press :(

    Why do you say “5/6”? its an open-source clone of 5, and the Readme notes that given the time it took them to get done with 5 (i.e., not yet, as the base mechanics are only “mostly done” and there’s a bunch of stuff from the expansions still to do), implementing Civ 6 mechanics is an express “won’t-do”.

  For me Civ 5 is brilliant (even more so with the improved AI mods), Civ 6 feels like a chore.
