Mentioned this in another thread, but red dot on Minimap points to natural wonders in neutral territory.

Interesting... that made me notice that the borders on the mini-map now also include water hexes. Not sure if I like that. It used to annoy me that I could not see my true border on the mini-map in CiV, but just realized looking at the above screenshot that I could not tell that the city was on a coastal tile.

I agree, actually I really don't like the minimap in Civ 6 right now. Civ 5 wasn't great because you couldn't see anything but I got used to it and I really want the more "atlasy" look

Don't worry yet, there may still be hope. The Map now has lens, commonly known as overlays, it is very possible one of these may give you a better view of the landmasses, etc.

It's likely that certain actions or improvements may require a beach instead of a cliff, or vice-versa.

Note how the waves are crashing against the cliffs. It's a nice touch. Animation may add a lot to the relatively simplistic graphics.

Seems certain from the additional screenies that the condition for cliffs is "coastal hills".

What icon are Cerilis and Eagle Pursuit referring to?

 

[AriochIV]

What icon are Cerilis and Eagle Pursuit referring to?

The resource icons on the bar at the top of the screen.

edit: Yes, the first one is rice, and the second icon is Wheat. Interesting.

 

[bite]

The resource icons on the bar at the top of the screen.

It would be interesting if Wheat was somehow a strategic resource.

Oil Can?

 

[Thormodr]

Oil Can?

Probably. My initial reaction was a chicken. Lol.

 

[Spaceturtle]

The resource icons on the bar at the top of the screen.

I think the first one is a bowl of rice.

The third one... maybe a tea bag?

 

[Ryika]

Looks like meat to me. It's Rice, Wheat, Meat and Horsehead on a plate.

A healthy mix of food products.

 

[AriochIV]

Oil Can?

Seems unlikely in 920 BC.

 

[stealth_nsk]

So we have food resources, like in Civ4.

 

[rastak]

Bong?

I concur on the tea bag, or a cup of coffee. The first is definitely rice. Trading food or perhaps you have limited food items to make district buildings?

 

[AriochIV]

The Tea icon is different.

And before we go there, here are all the other known resource icons.

 

[Hypereon]

One thing I wonder is why did they make all the forests coniferous. And about the rainforests, the palm trees don't seem right either. There are quite little palms in jungles opposed to the traditional cartoonish portrayal... Rather than rainforest plants, palms are trees of arid terrain.

 

[Veras]

The resource icons on the bar at the top of the screen.

edit: Yes, the first one is rice, and the second icon is Wheat. Interesting.

The first looks like the Rice icon while the third seems to be tea?

Edit: whoops, ninja'd

 

[AriochIV]

The more I look at the third icon, the more it looks like a quill in an inkwell on top of paper.

 

[moysturfurmer]

Initial reaction: gas can.

Then I thought maybe a sack of coffee or cocoa beans with a ladle inside?

top view of a cup of coffee...?
