How to convert Ocean into Grassland/Plain/Desert

well, with railroads, you can make lots of size 21 cities in the desert!
 
Hey, and fish and whales will still be on the deserts to provide extra food, as will game, cattle, and wheat!

Just remember to get the pyramids and longevity before trying this, or things will take forever!

Theoretically, yes it would increase the domination limit.
That's interesting. I was guessing the game engine checks the limit at game start, only counting total amount of land tiles then, while checking the territory percentage of a civ against that number each turn.
BTW, as you've terraformed a lot, did you notice (by chance), that a transformed desert tile provided a new source of oil?

Sorry, I didn't pay any attention on that, but I will keep an eye on it from now on.
 
Nice! :)
I've opened a thread on that topic, but as it has gone down the drain by time, I'd suggest to post any result here. Thanks.
 
i think luxuries and resources stay where they are even after terraforming it after they have poped up, but not if youve teraformed it before pop up.
 
Yeah, dramatic results :cringe:

I set off a nuclear war that irreversibly sent the sun into the red. At least five to six tiles have been converted into land, which really pisses me off because it turned two coastal cities into land cities. :mad: And in one city, I didn't even build a harbor :mad: so no 2-food coast squares.

In my gotm16 game too, there was some freakish global warming, but it wasn't nukes (I hope not). Four tundra and ocean squares turned into land!! I got two fish in that. It was on the bottom edge of the east side of the big continent.

I have the screenshots of both.
