Kelantan is a Malaysian state. Why is it part of some Civ's City-list? Is this Siam?

Majapahit. I'm not sure how fitting that is. It's probably not their core territory, but was inside their greater realm?
City lists are often a mess, but I would have guessed/hoped that the SEA ones were selected with more care than others.

In general, the most frequent reason for me to go at war is because a dman AI settled in the worst place and prevent me from getting back my treasure fleets (such as closing navigable rivers and so on)...

You are aware that you can just ask for open borders, right?

Just posted it for the laugh because it was the absolute worst spot possible.

Could be in an inland lake with no access to the sea at all. Don't build any naval building in those.

And they can say no.

Kelantan was a territory, or a part of Javamandala (Majapahit)

True, and at that point I get going for war. But I feel like it's pretty rare for them to actually do so unless you're already on bad terms.

Not exactly what you want to see when attacking a Japanese leader as the Mongols...

I had a LOT of spare influence, and the game was about to end... So I figured why not make Amina's impromptu declaration of war as inhumanly bad for her as I physically could

We can be friends.

Somehow I question whether this Amphitheater should be getting extra culture when it's so close to those toxic volcanic fumes...

No so sure about that. I went to a lot of concerts/performances in the modern version of an amphitheatre back in my college days in which the theatre was full of 'toxic fumes' and it just mellowed everybody out . . .

It's genuinely not uncommon for people to just live on the slopes of stratovolcanoes.

In general the danger from volcanoes is a bit overstated in people's minds in the first place. The vast majority of volcanic eruptions don't cause damage beyond a dusting of ash more than 3-5 km away from the erupting vent.

The total number of deaths from volcanic eruptions in the 21st century (so 25 years) is about 4000 (pessimistic estimate), with three quarters of those coming from one single eruption and another twenty percent coming from just three others. For comparison, in that same span there have been 20 earthquakes, 15 floods and 15 hurricanes with individual death tolls over 1000.

Meanwhile, there are only 31 volcanic eruptions in recorded history with an estimated death toll that surpasses 1000.
