If a city is close enough it might even lose population.īut it’s not all bad! The benefit of being near a volcano is the chance that the eruption will fertilize the land, increasing it’s Food and Production yield.Ĭertain rivers have floodplains where they’re able to spill over their banks. Any kind of garrisons or fortifications might be damaged, too. Once a volcano erupts, it has a chance to pillage or remove tile improvements. It’s only a matter of time before volcanoes in the erupting state outright explode. These are volcanoes that are moving towards the erupting state. You know a volcano has become active when it starts emitting smoke and glowing inside. Dormant volcanoes act like a normal mountain tile and don’t really affect anything. They exist in one of three states which can change over time: dormant, active, or erupting.

Volcanoes are potential disasters found on the borders of continents. Then there are volcanoes which just do whatever they want… That makes them the simplest to explain, so let’s start there! Others are tied to the climate itself: like droughts, storms, and floods. Some are man-made, like Climate Change and Nuclear Disasters. In general, there are a few different types of Civilization 6 disasters. Some will be much stronger, causing loss of population and units. Some will just be an inconvenience, pillaging some tiles while fertilizing others. Instead, these disasters are less about pure destruction and more about constantly changing the flow of a game.Įvery disaster varies in strength. But don’t expect something along the lines of SimCity. Disasters have finally come to the Civilization VI.
