Civilization is a grand strategy game where you grow a small tribe into a thriving empire through smart planning, research, culture, trade, and war.
Start by exploring nearby tiles and founding cities on strong food and production. Work key resources, build early units, and begin your tech and civic paths. Place districts with good adjacency and keep housing and amenities healthy. Use terrain for defense, hold choke points, and promote units in battles. Send trade routes to boost growth and gold, and adjust your plan based on neighbors and the map. Aim for a victory type and pivot if rivals get ahead.
Tip Scout early and lock in strong district spots to snowball your economy and secure a clear win path.
