nope it is on any mine.I think it is because people think any mine is a culture bomb, but I assume it is just on a resource that limits the effect.
you can see from 0:28 in the video:

Probably because it is easiest and most useful culture bomb.Are culture bomb/cheaper tiles even that good of a gimmick by itself, regardless of who gets it?
I've seen people love culture bombs and cheaper tiles ever since I started playing Civ 5, but I've never really understood why.
Yes you (might) get to the attractive tiles earlier, but if you really need a particular tile, buying it the old fashioned way does the trick.
Especially in civ 6 where you don't see the insane population numbers like in civ 5 (tall cities), I don't really get what all that land is supposed to be good for in the first place.
Heck, I plan to do multiplayer with two mates of mine tomorrow, but I was surprised to hear their first reaction to Gaul being "nice, culture bombs for more tiles!".
I mean, out of all the bonuses Gaul get, the culture bomb gets their attention??

That was my initial impression of the Civ: an early game aggressor, mid-to-late game turtle.Here's a new bit from the Livestream. Gaestedae do not upgrade to Swordsmen. Presumably Musketman instead. So that Medieval era is going to stall out a Gaulish conquering spree.

Depends though.That was my initial impression of the Civ: an early game aggressor, mid-to-late game turtle.
I get that, but why care about culture bombs apart from "it's a cute fluff"?
I guess you could technically culture bomb on turn 10 if you wanted to, but what are those extra tiles accomplishing?
I saw someone argue that you could "waste a few builder charges to culture bomb", but why waste a builder charge for more tiles, instead of just buying it outright?
I never really understood the fascination with early land grabbing.
Ain't got the population to work it anyway, if I really need a specific tile I'll buy it, and otherwise the land will be claimed eventually.
This isn't civ 5 where we need every possible tile to put our 40 population to work, after all.
