Massively overpowered for what they have done in real life. There's no way they should be able to stand toe to toe with China.. ever.

It's about the potential of a civ rather than how "successful" a civ has been.Massively overpowered for what they have done in real life. There's no way they should be able to stand toe to toe with China.. ever.
Russia has been considered the top civ (or very near it) since the game came out...
To quibble, most of what Civ6 calls "Snow" is Tundra and most of what Civ6 calls Tundra is Taiga (complete with forests).Canada has tundra bonuses despite being most of their country being in taiga. Massively incorrect for their location in real life.
I mean, they're roughly the same latitudes, and the majority of Russians, like the majority of Canadians, don't live in the tundra or even the taiga.There's no way they should occupy the same terrain type as Russia...

I agree with your post in spirit even if I quibble with the details.Ah, maybe not. But I needed a comparison for comparison's sake.
And out of the two of them, it somehow feels much more applicable to call Russia the land of the harsh, cold tundra, rather than good old Canada, even if it truly doesn't fit either of them.

I freely admit geography is not my best subject, but in my defense I did say roughly the same latitudes.If only! Saint Petersburg lies at a latitude of just under 60 degrees, and Moscow at 55 degrees. In comparison, Toronto is at 43 degrees latitude, and Vancouver 49 degrees. The vast majority of the Canadian population lives well away from anything you could call taiga, as opposed to the opposite for Russia. For all the hardy winter stereotypes and lumberjack-isms, most Canadians live in quite fair agricultural regions where even grapes can grow.
I am thinking that they gave Canada the tundra farm ability because of their extensive use of hot houses but Manitoba is their true bread basket.
"Last Best West" (the name of Wilfrid Laurier's ability in-game) was a program to entice immigrants to central Canada, more or less a similar incentive to the American Homestead Acts. Of course, as frigid as Alberta and Saskatchewan can be, by and large these Laurier-era immigrants settled in steppe-like prairies which support agriculture well despite a short growing season. As it turned out, though, most of the people who took up the promises of the Last Best West were Volga Germans, Ukrainians, and Poles - not exactly the Anglo-Scottish cohort the government was hoping for.
Yea they should really ban work ethic.
Not sure how it's been nerfed.
Khmer is pretty good anyways.
Work ethic should just apply to standard adjacencies - mountains, natural wonders, and trees. That would make it useful but not overpowered. Where it’s broken is applying to terrain adjacencies - sacred path or dance of the aurora, Australia’s bonus for breathtaking, Khmer river bonus, etc.
