Has anyone seen Bermuda Triangle close enough to land to work the tiles?

[Deadly Dog]

Yikes there's 2 active threads on this atm!

From last October, the furthest I took this game. Kupe/Terra with Apocalypse, SS, Dramatic ages and tech shuffle. Pretty sure I chose this setup just to find and settle the Triangle first, if possible. I suspect I abandoned it because it was only an experiment anyway.

Spoiler :

Between the 2 cities that can access it we have 9/12 tiles workable, including 4 of the six +10Science tiles.

Bermuda seems to appear in every other game for me...

Huh, I've never even seen it in any of my games so far...

I wonder - using the natural wonders picker, can you force it to be in the mix, and then play on a map with not much sea?

Dunno, but I dont think you can force it. You can have it in the pool, but if there us nowhere for it to spawn, then I'm guessing it won't.

I think Bermuda Triangle is such a cool and flavorful wonder, but I hate how i'ts basically never workable (and I hate how the yields are utterly broken if you can work it).

So, I made a mod a while ago that tones down the yields quite a bit and allows it to spawn in workable distance.

If you're interested, I hope you like it! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2197566393

Perhaps it's sad that I never knew this existed in the game. I have never once encountered the Bermuda Triangle in the game. Despite usually complete ocean exploration in my games.

Do you have the Maya + Gran Colombia DLC? It's part of that content (along with Paititi and the Fountain of Youth).

I strictly play on Huge Continents with everything on standard with no mods (4,555.7hrs); as it can only spawn on ocean having lots of islands is a bad idea as it spawns coast around islands and other land masses meaning less ocean for it to spawn on. But I still stand true to it being in "every other game" of mine.

I do. I have seen the Fountain of Youth a number of times but no Bermuda Triangle.

I have gotten it and it was in reach of a second city or 4 moves with your initial settler. I tried to make it work twice but the science is only really powerful early. Problem is production is more powerful. Not as overpowered as I would have thought on the map it spawned on for me.

I guess it's super powerful very early for a second city, it cannot be for your capital stopping settlers

Found this in my current game as Portugal. It's not a spot I would normally settle, but I have to do this just for the sake of having done it.

Liking this because based on what I have seen so far with Portugal is you'll be just fine with a city there...campus, harbor and waterpark are all you need. I thought Mansa had obscene gold but Joao III is a quantum leap above that.

In my last game as Ottomans, I had it close enough to work... a lot. 4 or 5 hexes? I took a screenshot early on. I did a map reveal so you can see the tile layout.

Funnily enough, this was an Inland Sea map.

 

[PiR]

Nice! But what's that font on the city's name?

 

[Steamboat Willem]

I no longer have that save file or the seed though.

 

[PiR]

With the extra vision on water!! I love it!

I'm using Montserrat Alternates.

EDIT:
Inland Sea
Huge map, 11 Civs (default) + me, 18 City-states
All DLC
Monopolies + Corporations mode on
All victory conditions on
Map seed: 1127089
Game seed: 4535699
I think I had turned natural disasters down to 1 for this game (I don't think it affects placements anyway).

Civs (as above, given the new start biases, this may affect placement of start units):

This is particularly far away from maximum city radius.
