Inca's UA makes every mountain yield 1 , 1 , and 1 starting in the Ancient Era. I started a game as the Inca and noticed some weird things going on with my capital's starting yields when I settled on a mountain with vs. without a river. I settled my capital on a nearby mountain between some rivers and the city "improvement" itself is upgrading the central tile to 4 , 1 , 1 , and 1 .
This was weird to me because, according to the Civilopedia page "City Locations and Yields", cities on mountains get at least +2 . It seemed like my mountain bonus was overridden by the fresh water bonus, which gives +1 :
So I tried settling on a mountain with no fresh water and got this:
A central tile with 3 , 2 , 2 , 1 . I got more production as expected, but now the bonus for not settling on hills or fresh water got applied as well. I was going to file a bug report about this, but then I decided to start a game as a different civ and double-check that city tile yields were applying properly with other civs. So I booted up an Assyria game and got this:
My city tile has 3 and 1 , but I'm on plains (1 , 1 ) with fresh water (+1 for cities), so should I only be getting 2 ? Looking back at the first Cusco picture, I should be getting 1 from the Incan UA, and 1 more from the rivers, yet I have 4 . Cusco was set up between 2 rivers, so I checked and confirmed that the fresh water bonus was not be applied twice by settling on a mountain with only 1 river, and I got the same 4 yield from my city tile.
I feel like I should file a bug report but at this point I'm a bit confused on what I should expect to be getting from my central tile in the first place.
If anyone could explain all these yield scenarios it'd be a big help.
