I skipped Civ5, picked up Civ6 but never really put in the time and effort to unlearn Civ4 and learn Civ6.
So, today, I am starting a Prince level game. Get ready for some questions.
Q1: How do I minimize Civ6 so that I get my desktop back. Civ6 seems to be living in the background. Windows M doesn't give me my desk top, it gives me Civ6
I found the windows option but neither option seems to give me what I want. Full screen when playing, minimized to task bar when not.
Q2: Is there a way of skipping the intro movies?
I found this solution ( https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/f...=785334057) but it didn't work.
I have finally decided to put down some cash and register a website. It is www.ruffhi.com. Now I remain free to move the hosting options without having to change the name of the site.

I am going to 'play' the tutorial to see if that helps.

Regarding skipping the intro movies, there is a mod for that.
The fact that such a predictably desirable UX option requires a mod is completely in character for this game.

You can get back to the desktop in one of two ways. The first is to set the game in the display options to play within a window. The second, which I use, is to have another something else open (File Explorer, a browser window, etc) that you can alt-tab to. A third way might be Windows+D, which puts the desktop to the foreground.

Nice ... one of two ways and then provides three. Under promise and over deliver! I will remember Win-D.

Let's get rolling on this tutorial. Gilgamesh with his Irish / Scottish advisor. I have great difficulty telling those accents apart  .
I took my first screenshot. A tga file? Another piece of software that I need to install. https://tgaviewer.com/
At least Gimp can read a tga file ... but I am not firing up Gimp just to look at pics.
Typical Ruff play in that I mis-managed my worker / builder ... didn't have irrigation to improve coffee and sleep him, only to forget to wake him when irrigation completed.
Enough tutorial ... time to start a real game.
