Oh, and Canada got a buff too! They now have +1 production from mines on tundra and snow tiles. I totally understand it since, under most conditions, the civ was already broken. This can be a major change since the civ was never a gold-generating powerhouse compared to Mali, and your “full swordsmen rush” can now change to “just some swordsmen and some warriors” if you lack gold. From a 100 percent discount, it’s now just a 75 percent discount. Even their Toa unique unit had a nerf to their combat strength and haka stacking.Īs for my beloved Hungary - which I considered an S-Tier civ and perhaps the best newcomer around - they’re still keeping all their uniques except for the free levied unit upgrades. The Maori, meanwhile, ended up with a nerf to their Marae culture bonus from passable tiles, down from +2 to +1. India also gets +1 amenity for each religion present in a city while increasing their religious pressure via trade routes. India will have its missionary religious spreads increased from 3 to 5. The Netherlands will get production bonuses toward dams and flood barriers. The disaster frequency setting is no longer tied to climate change’s rampant rise as well.Īs for actual buffs and nerfs to certain civs, well, there are a lot of these. This means storms will have lower tile yields to none at all if climate change gets out of hand. Climate change phases will also have a desertification mechanic. In our official review of Civilization VI: Gathering Storm, I mentioned that I was happy with climate change being included in the game, and the April Update will make some tweaks.īlizzard damage has been toned down, and dust storm yields have been lowered.
