Civ VI Funny/Strange Screenshots

As a "city," no. It wasn't founded until 1940. However, the IRL city is now the capital of Batman Province that sits on the Tigris and Batman Rivers overlooking the Bati Raman oil fields.

Batman Province had been, from what I can find, an independent province in current day Turkey until Alexander the Great conquered it around 352bc. From Alexander it got passed to the Byzentines, then the ottomans, and is now part of current day Turkey. There was a capital city named Batman founded in the ?1940s?

The city was founded in the 1950s and it was after the creation of the Dark Knight.

Yes, the province existed before many of the Dark Knight's creators' ancestors were born.

To correct bits, see this quote from wikipedia:

Until the 1950s, Batman was a village, called Iluh, with a population of about 3,000. However, oil fields were discovered around it in the 1940s that resulted in a rapid development of the area and in the inflow of workforce from other parts of Turkey. In 1957, the village was renamed Batman, after the river namesake, received a city status, and became a district center.

In short:
The village Iluh became a city in 1957 and was renamed to Batman after the river Batman, which was there before the Dark Knight was created.

Iluh is linked to be Elekhan a settlement dating back to 6th century BC, which was invaded by Alexander the great.

The province of Batman was founded in 1990, named after its capital as it is the case for provinces in Turkey.

What's the bonus near the bottom right?

The bonus near the bottom right is Petra still being available to build on turn 239. I actually wound up building both it and the Pyramids in that city.

Does Oprah know for certain if the three unmet civs even got a Golden Age?

Are you doubting Oprah?

Like she cares about minutiae like that.

Could your borders grow enough?

 

[AmtrakQuebec]

Could your borders grow enough?

Eventually, yes, but I'll probably get Special Ops first

 

[tedhebert]

You could buy ;-)

 

[Alexander's Hetaroi]

Great Campus or Holy Site location if you could get it as well.

 

[AmtrakQuebec]

Unfortunately, no because those borders are already at max 3.

It took me 151 turns to realise the shape of the continent I'm on. I'm playing as the right testicle also known as France.

Well, you know the French.... they're nuts.

Won't you take me down... to Turtle Town:

 

[Zaarin]

Wow, I've seen turtles maybe once or twice in my games, even since that patch supposedly made them less rare.

 

[Stomper66]

Man those Cree cities are so pretty especially with the Makewap improvement. I won't really be on the forum this week (I have to go on a stupid Holiday ) but it's good fun at the moment so i'm looking forward to reading the threads when I get back. Who knows there might be a new announcement by then. I'm totally not addicted to Civ6 !

If you play on Archipelago, they are quite common. The funny thing about this one is that it was actually a very weird Pangaea map... as you can see, it more closely resembles an Inland Sea

Weird map indeed: I would have guessed Continents. I rolled a weird zigzag Pangaea like that once.
