Yes! I had that in my game, except that I got a flood barrier built in time (which looks really weird. And really should reduce the appeal of the wonder).

Maybe they should call it Crater Lagoon.

I didn't know lakes can flood as well. In reality, our inland lakes are rather shrinking (Aral, Chad, ...)
It's bothering me why citizens of Larak needed to break one edge of the lake with harbor. It reduces the appeal of the wonder.
Crater lakes are volcanic, and a large eruption could breach the wall of the caldera, causing a devastating flood. Crater Lake itself is unlikely to do this any time soon, but it happened at Mt Aniakchak in Alaska about 3000 years ago.
Nothing to do with climate change, of course, unless a lot of new rainfall caused the lake to overflow

Crater Lake is at a pretty high elevation, I've been there once. It was chilly. If that starts flooding, we are all in trouble.
I thought this picture was kind of funny. How did this desert mountain get in the middle like that?
Maybe a rain shadow. It just looks funny. I waited thousands of years to be able to see the tile in the middle hoping for some +6 Holy site (I built my Campus a long time earlier), only to find out it was occupied. Oh well. Actually now I notice it would have been out of range anyways.

Taking advantage of the tactical surprise afforded by the storms, my brave tank corps will dash through the severe swarm of tornadoes to take China's capital:
I suspect afterwards there will be more than the usual amount of repairs needed to the city and surrounding area.
BTW, the fact that tank corps still only use 1 oil has given me a reason to finally build some.

I didn't think to take this screen shot until after I did the deed, but I think God is saying I am right and old Harald is wrong.
The Blighter was running around my space with a bunch of Debater promoted Apostles along with the policy card and Theocracy as his gov. I didn't feel like doing battle religiously so after he gave me a religious war causi belli I declared war on him. I wasn't planning on taking any of his cities, but I figured I would send my muskets up to do some pillaging anyways. But almost immediately after declaring war that Volcano erupted and blasted his city health to oblivion AND took out the walls. So I took it. God wills it to be so.

Bravo Kupe, bravo.
I think, he just gets spawned in sight of Arctic or Antarctic lands more often than not and then just zeroes in on whatever crappy tiles those are. Either he should be given near equatorial spawn belt, or coded to move away from the ice, poor soul. I've already seen too many pics of this sort.

Shouldn't be too hard to code in a snow and tundra settle ban for a limited amount of turns imo.

If Harald complains, just tell him "No, no, this is for the best, you'll see".
Geez I hate hearing that. Wish we could be just as annoying when civs complain to us about converting their cities.
I was there a few summers ago; it was quite cold. Loved it, though--the most beautiful place I've ever been.
I think Kupe has a Snow bias, because that's where he always seems to end up.

In that location, I doubt Kupe has to worry about conserving the forests and jungles.
But no love for those whales there!

Even if he starts in the ocean, they should just give him a bias to at least spawn near the equator somewhere. That'd make both logical sense and be better for gameplay balance so stuff like in that pic doesn't happen in the hands of the AI

I've been checking out the revised map generation and seem to have noticed more clustering of city states than before.
This one was the most amusing -- a small map and all 9 city states are crowded into one peninsula. There was barely enough room for Zanzibar to establish their city. I think they must have planted first and that forced Yerevan to wander two hexes to the left to create their city.
As you can see, Mongolia is in the game and not too far away, so I guess he's found the promised land.

Man that Kupe probably didn't do much that game. Good thing for him the snow doesn't melt alone with the ice. Would be bad to live on a landmass that melted away because people like having electricity. But hey, it would be Kupe's Voyage 2.0!
An update for my shot. The volcano only erupted once more that entire game and it was a gentle eruption that caused no damage and boosted a bunch of tiles for me. So yup, it was heavenly decreed that I take that city(though I then left it after making up 80+% of the world's pollution and jetting off into space).
