Civilization, create your own haves and have-nots - The Bear and Badger

I have a tendency to micro-manage all my units though, moving them 1, 2 squares at a time. And I think that's what saps my enjoyment of the game. I don't want to send them off on a 10 turn journey somewhere in case there's an enemy incursion.

Not enjoying these 'city states' that are everywhere on my map, and what the heck is 'alert' on the unit control options?

Could do with a few pro tips from the seasoned PC players to get the Switch people going I reckon.

Basic tip is decide what victory you want, make sure it meshes with your civ's strengths, and play for that. ie if going for domination, focus on military, maybe ignore religion entirely or at least give it a military lean.

That doesn't mean you can't switch but a cultural victory is hard unless you spend centuries prepping.

Best beginner tip though is to max the research bonuses. E.g. you research archery in half the time if you kill a barbarian with a slinger. Get as many of them as you can.

And build campuses or other special zones.

Alert means that the unit will remain fortified, but will wake up when an enemy unit is in close proximity, acting as a warning.

Just bagged this for £32 on Switch. Looking forward to the pick up & play convenience of it.

This is a 'surprise' present for me this weekend. Going to bring it home with me for crimbo. I'm about as far away from a strategic gamer as you can get but willing to try something different and the fact that it's on the switch is just amazing.

Howdy, Stranger!
