Civ VI Funny/Strange Screenshots

[Alexander's Hetaroi]

I definitely gave a nervous laugh when I saw the name of my fourth city.

I think protecting Paititi is really a cover up considering you seem to be building your Great Wall around all the other cities.

Germs, like spirits, only move in straight lines and can't move over the wall.

 

[Jeppetto]

Who needs immunity defense in your organism when you can have immunity by the Great Wall.

 

[Pfeffersack]

Small patches of land completely surrounded by mountains aren't uncommon in Civ6, but I have never seen such a huge mystic valley yet

As I'm playing with Barb mode activated, it is even not impossible that one day a Clan makes its home there (or even has already?)...

 

[PiR]

Or there could be a CS with 0 envoys

I had one of those in my game as well. I was about to create a mountain tunnel to explore it right before I won.

There is a 75% chance that everything under the fog is just... mountains.

It's lands like that where you get through the mountain tunnel, and you hope that the tribal village teaches you the secrets of Nuclear Fusion. But you know you're going to walk over the village and they're going to be like, "haha, thanks for the brave journey out to meeting us. He's 20 faith for your troubles."

I had that as well in my last game. Luckily for me there was an opening and then I discovered the Chocolate Hills in that valley. Let's just say I was very surprised.

Schrödinger's Moutain Valley -> it's both Tribal Village with late-game Tech Boost and 100% Moutains tiles at once until you create Moutain Tunnel.

So basically it's a movie about group of protagonists traveling to uncharted lands that can either be

1) Documentary -> You discover Tribal Village that gives you one useless idol that you accept the way you accept books on Christmas
2) Sci-fi -> You discover the Ancient Atlantidians, living there with their Marysuematerialium that can both destroy planets and cook fine mixed eggs and they share this discovery with you
3) Fantasy -> 1357th movie about discovering Shangri-La

Not gonna lie, now I really want Shangri-La NW that spawns surrounded by Moutains.

Personally, I’ve always interpreted tribal villages giving late-game boosts to not mean that the village actually had that technology, but that something from the village gave your scientists a “Eureka” moment (no pun intended).

Did some snow village boost Nuclear Fission? No, it’s not that the tribe somehow discovered nukes. They just had a myth where a trickster god took one of the smallest bits from which all things are made (akin to the Ancient Greek version of atoms) and tried to break it even smaller, causing it to instead turn into magical energy and devastate the entire area (with the intended lesson being how much spiritual power there is in the tiniest thing or something like that). One of your scientists was reading an article about your explorers’ encounter with this tribe, read about the myth, and realized that something like that might actually work in real life.

So...eagerly and greedily?

It's much more fun for me to believe some paleolithic tribe in Antarctica has been hiding out with the secrets to cold fusion.

I like this point of view, but couldn't help myself not to imagine:

,,Ben, according to this scripture, the locals believed that some trickster god once split spiritual energy causing a blast that gave birth to the crater, where they live."
,,I know what you'e trying to say, Jimmy, we should nuke India."
,,Wait wh... No, that's not at all what I was..."
,,We're nuking India, Jimmy."

It's much more fun for me to believe some paleolithic tribe in Antarctica has been hiding out with the secrets to cold fusion.

True, you have better law system, technology, hygiene, transportation, automatization and diplomacy... But can you do this?
*Casually splits atom*

Germs, like spirits, only move in straight lines and can't move over the wall.

Unfortunately, germs/viruses carried by people can move in any d**n direction the people can move - and if they are already sick enough, that direction can be pretty erratic . . .

But once the sick people become disembodied spirits, they're back to moving in straight lines.

Do ghostly germs and viruses move only in straight lines also?

 

[Duke William of Normandy]

It's the Skaven, I tell you. The Skaven are to blame for this plague!

On another note:

This always happens to me. Ughh...

If so, then presumably you can also kill them by throwing coins at them.

Warhammer for the win.

 

[Deadly Dog]

So its 220 AD, playing a large map and we're down to 7 player, and with Mvemba in the game there's a prophet for everybody! Nonetheless....

Spoiler :

I guess Saladain just wants Mansa Musa to do the heavy lifting? Or they're both sulking because someone else took Desert Folklore/Work Ethic?
