Mountain (Civ5)

A Mountain is a type of terrain feature in Civilization V.
== Game Info ==
Terrain feature found anywhere on land tiles.
* Base yield: None
* Attributes:
** Allows adjacent cities to construct Observatories.
== Strategy ==
Mountain tiles are impassable to almost all units except air units. They provide nothing to cities other than the opportunity to build Machu Picchu, Neuschwanstein, and Observatories. Note that a city must be right next to a Mountain (or mountainous natural wonder) to build an Observatory, but both wonders can be built in a city within 2 tiles of a Mountain (so long as that Mountain is not a natural wonder).
Mountains are usually great obstacles to movement, and can provide natural defensive barriers. Just be wary of Carthaginian players, who can negate their defensive properties after earning a Great General!
It may be advantageous to settle a city right next to a Mountain so that you can build the aforementioned wonders and building there. However, you shouldn't go out of your way to do so unless you're playing as the Inca - they can put Mountains and adjacent Hill tiles to really good use!
