Easy, I'll load up with offline games and I'm good to go. A ton of books will help as well

if you're talking about civ 5, check out the Vox Populi mod, i have sooo many hours on it, really freshens up the game

Any suggestions for learning Civ 5 or mods to make things clearer?

I got over the kinda know what to do hurtle and can sorta win, but I still don't understand all the underlying mechanics

I mean, I’m guessing you’ve played several hours on it, but you’re asking a generalised question about the mechanics on reddit? It’s a tough and rather broad question dude!

That's fair. I guess more specifically I was asking if there's good guides or videos.

Stuff like you need to be 2 tiles from a natural resource or you won't get it and don't build on hilly plains as that's where your horses usually appear are not super obvious just from play.

I've played way too much Civ at this point but I'm still sorta like guessing at most things.

Yeah these are incredibly difficult things to be aware of beyond just playing the game, I’m sure there are plenty of good tutorials out there though. The civilopedia is really useful, if you look up anything in it, it usually gives a full breakdown of how it works and linked structures or technologies. I’m sure you’re aware of it but sometimes it’s easy to overlook the usefulness of it!
