Design your own Civ VI civ

I like the design but I have questions about why the big tundra/snow start bias and unique improvement?
Weren't those ranches that the gauchos worked on so wouldn't they not be located in the tundra and snow?

I feel like another "ranch" improvement would be too similar to the hacienda for Gran Colombia. I would go with a Tango Salon personally in the theater square to still make them geared toward a cultural victory.

 

tango salon seems apt, yeah

we should really compile all of those mockups in the posible new frontier civs here, lmao

Content to be added into Game for all civilizations
Generic District: Healthcare District
Requires Medicine Tech at Renaissance Era
Allows the following buildings and its replacements: Apothecary, Hospital, Medical Laboratory
Increase the rate both military units and city itself will recover health per turn
Enable Remedy Research Project.
Disaster(GS): Epidemy
A disaster causes by disease on people
When is early game reach will be lower due to having no trade routes to spread it
When is late game reach will be higher due to having many trade routes to spread it

 

Apothecary: tier 1 building, available at Medicine technology, grants extra healing per turn for military units within city borders and for city itself, increase city healthness.
Hospital: tier 2 building, available at Sanitation technology, grants extra healing per turn for military units within city borders and for city itself, increase city healthness, required for build medic unit.
Medical Laboratory: tier 3 building, available at Biochemistry technology (Atomic Era, new tech after chemistry), grants extra healing per turn for military units within city borders and for city itself, increase city healthness, required for build Genetical Mapping project.
Remedy Research Project: when is being built it grants extra food, gold and science prodution, when complete it grants great people points distributed between engineers, merchants and scientists randomly.
Genetical Mapping Project: when is complete it grants eureka for 1 random modern era and 1 random atomic era and 1 random information era technologies (total 3 eureka boosts).
-----------
Epidemy disaster may vary upon its strength and its spread, spread is done through trade routes, meaning that epidemy is likely to cause mayhem with civs who has lots of trade routes, epidemy is also meant to slowdown who are affected, as it damages military units and kill citizens.

City Healthness is a core factor for slowdown and even end Epidemy disaster. It not only comes from Healthcare district buildings, but also from district by itself and from Aqueduct district and from Granary and Sewers buildings.

Forgot to mention, epidemy may give bonuses for your military units whenever they fight enemies who didn't took hit from same epidemy. Think about what smallpox did IRL to native american when europeans arrived into america.

With Gran Colombia becoming a civ, I thought why not have the Republic of Texas (1836-46) be represented as a unique civ?

Texas
Leader – Sam Houston

Sam Houston Ability – Remember the Alamo! Whenever one of your units is destroyed in your territory all other units gain +5 combat strength and +1 movement for 5 turns (standard speed).

Texas Ability – Wide Open Spaces. Start with additional land when founding a new city. Cities must be placed 4 tiles away as opposed to the normal 3. Citizens can work tiles out to 4 instead of the usual 3.

Unique Unit – Texas Ranger. Replaces Cavalry. Costs more. 5 movement. +1 movement if starting in open terrain. +1 sight range on hills. Has ranged attack of 1. Still has strong melee for defense. (similar to Immortal).

Unique Improvement – Ranch. Replaces pasture. +1 production, 1 housing. Will slowly acquire new tiles (in addition to tiles acquired by the city) unimproved plains/grassland/floodplains tiles without features adjacent to ranch will slowly be integrated into the ranch, which can all be worked by 1 citizen. +1 culture per tile in ranch.

 

here is my civ idea hope you like it
United Arab emirates
leader-Sheikh Zayed


Leader ability: Father of the union :Cities which are 10 ten tiles away from your capitals city center are always loyal City states in which you have 3 more envoys then any other civ for 50 turns (on Standard speed ) and border you can annex them and keep and you will keep the suzerain bonus and it remain fully loyal may construct the falaj

Civ abilityubai model: when oil is discovered you produce 2 of it every turn, after researching industrialisation Uae Can boost wonder production with a project which provides +20% wonder production in that city for 10 turns in cities where strategic resources are being worked wonder give out 2+ gold and+ 1 diplomatic favor for every wonder + 4 gold and + 2 diplomatic favor for atomic era and later wonders

burj: city center building which gives +5% more tourism and + 3 gold in that city unlocks with civil engineering

Trucial scouts: unlock with nationalism replaces ranger but more cheaper and stronger and +5 amenities and 3+ loyalty in a city it is garrisoned in

Oh wow. That is a beautiful civ design. The improvement bias is genius.

 

I've set my expectations probably too high. I hope the real design doesn't disappoint.

 

Sadly I don't think it's happening unless the water theatre can also be built on non-GS terrain, since the civ isn't listed as requiring GS.

 

I only put that on there because regular floodplains still exist outside of GS and the flooded tiles are for GS only.

I picture it the same as Ethiopia's rock hewn church needing either only hills, for base game, or also volcanic soil for GS only.

Edit: I guess floodplains in the base game and R&F are only for desert though right? So maybe I should change it to require flat land along a river in base game.
