Why is Mt Fuji not a natural wonder?

[Siptah]

I'd like to add that I think it is nice if some wonders are remote, get discovered late and in otherwise really really bad locations for a city. It always gives me some explorer feeling when I discover Eyjafjallajökull on some snowy island far far away in the industrial age. I still haven't got that achievement though...
And I think there shouldn't be too many Natural Wonders on the same map, the amount seems fine to me as it is. Having a larger pool to choose these wonders from would be nice though. This is similar to city states for me in that aspect.

Yomesite is closely linked with Teddy. Its a no brainer to have in the game.

Yosemite and Crater Lake are in YnAMP.

Why is Lake Victoria not a natural wonder?

That's a jolly good question
I am still searching for the fountain of youth, seems to be more of a priority.

The Grand Canyon? I've seen a number of things, but up close the Grand Canyon is amazing. But that doesn't mean it would make a good Civ natural wonder.

Hmm how about if it was 6 tiles long, impassable and provided +1 culture +1 gold per tile a bit like Piopiotahi?
.. or are you just gutted that lake Champlain is not in there?

It would, imo. Appears on a river in plains (desert?) and grants I-have-no-idea-what to adjacent tiles. EDIT: Should probably impassible as Victoria mentioned. Imo better in between tiles than on a tile though, because of how rivers work.

I'm not miffed at all. And that is Lake Champlain to you, thank you very much. And stand and salute when you say it.

I can see it from my window today.

... that south american Silver mountain, whose name I always forget.

The name is Potosi

I like the Idea of the Grand Canyon as a Natural Wonder. As other have said 5-6 tiles that offer Adjacency bonuses as well as acting like a river for fresh water and further adjacency bonuses. Would also act as a good Natural Defense for a city seeing's it would most likely be impassable.

Wasn't Mt Fugi added when Japan was added in Civ V?

Yes, in that Japan and Mt. Fuji were both present in the original vanilla release.

Natural Wonders didn't exist prior to Civ 5, Japan wasn't a DLC. So I'm not sure if Fuji was added after the game released or not.

Fuji was in the vanilla game, but its yields were changed (to include faith) in the Gods & Kings expansion.

 

[sonicmyst]

Fuji is now available in the Steam Workshop. =)

For the same reason Mount Olympus, Vesuvius, Sunderbans, Ha Long Bay, Jeita Grotto, Komodo Island, the Lagoon of the Seven Cities, El Dorado, the Amazon, or any other is not : we simply can't have them all. I'm sure they'll add more Natural Wonders, by DLC or expansion, but at some point, a choice will have to be made ...

Ha Long Bay is now!

 

[Alexander's Hetaroi]

Ha Long Bay is now!

So will Mt. Vesuvius.
