Should I be worried about the Bermuda Triangle?

[Disgustipated]

Yeah I'm not a big fan. I'd like them to steer away from such things. But I understand the desire for more ocean/sea natural wonders.

The Bermuda Triangle was in Civ VI. That's the reasoning.

Not that you'd know because of how incredibly rarely it spawns.

I remember there being a Maelstrom and magic portals in Civ IV - Fall from Heaven 2, so there is a deeper history

I will be okay with Bermuda Triangle if it has no portal somewhere. I want it to have more chances of hurricane to spawn.

I actually think El Dorado would make more sense since you could fit it into the Exploration Age and it was an important part of the imaginary among the European colonizers/explorers. Same with the kingdom of Prester John. Mythical places, but with real consequences.

We have narrative events for that.

I thought it would be interesting if the Triangle was an unrevealed section of ocean where ships, traders and flights occasionally disappear. It would still show up as rough seas, or whatever. But after enough “evidence” it could be revealed on the map as a wonder. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Obligatory reminder that the Bermuda Triangle does not pose a statistically significant extra danger to ships (or planes) compared to other oceans, nor is there a statistically significant increase in disappearances there. It just happens to be a busy shipping and flying area, meaning there's more possibilities for anecdotal stories to spawn than in most parts of the world, plus it's close to the US, which means there's a lot people in the Western cultural sphere that view it as (somewhat) close.

Yes, I think that's exactly what Columbus said as he was writing in his "bizarre" experiences to his ship journal in 1492 (give or take).

Now it doesn't ...

If you didn't know about the agnonic line when it was centred there you were much more likely to run into trouble.

Bermuda Triangle should be double rough seas penalty, even if you have the tech that makes you immune to rough seas. Furthermore, you should have to map it out by trial and error and you won't ever know how big it is (up to 8 hexes). Then it would be fun. But if it is teleporting again, I'd rather it not be forced upon me.
