Mountains (Civ6)

Mountains are a base terrain in Civilization VI. They are found on all types of land tiles. Many Mountains stand alone, but they usually form ranges that cover up to several dozen tiles.
* Base yields:
** Nothing, cannot normally be worked
** Inca only: 2 ; 1 for each adjacent Terrace Farm
* Movement needed:
** Impassable
* Additional features:
** +1 Appeal
** +1 adjacency bonus for Holy Sites
** +1 adjacency bonus for Campuses
** Aqueducts built next to Mountains provide fresh water to cities
** Can serve as part of a National Park
** Can be improved by Ski Resort, Mountain Tunnel and Qhapaq Ñan improvements
Mountains are an unusable terrain. They contain no resources or other features of any kind, though mountain ranges often appear at the head of a River. s and wonders (except for Machu Picchu) cannot be placed on Mountains tiles.
== Strategy ==
Mountains are valuable terrains, as not only do they provide a defensive bulwark but also provide adjacency bonuses to the Campus and Holy Site districts. Building them in "valleys" surrounded by Mountains may boost their performance right from the start.
But even more importantly, Mountains may be used as a source of fresh water with the Aqueduct district! You just need to found your city close enough (within 2 tiles of a Mountain), and as soon as you manage to build the Aqueduct it will enjoy the full bonus provided by bodies of water such as Rivers and Lakes.
Mountains themselves are a base terrain that is neither land nor water, and all of them, despite differences in appearance depending on their surrounding terrain, are functionally identical. Therefore, a Mountain spawned in Desert areas is not counted as Desert and does not interact with Mali's civilization ability, a Mountain in Tundra/Snow does not provide the Ice Hockey Rink extra , a Mountain in Snow does not count as a Snow tile for the purpose of doubling the Amundsen-Scott Research Station's bonuses, and a Mountain does not count as an adjacent land tile when building Polders as the Dutch. With similar logic, Mountains in Desert or Tundra areas only grant a +1 adjacency bonus to Holy Sites, even if you have the Desert Folklore or Dance of the Aurora pantheon, since the tile itself doesn't count as Desert or Tundra.
Finally, Mountains have a base Appeal of 4 and grant +1 Appeal to adjacent tiles, making them ideal to include in National Parks. Appeal bonuses or penalties from adjacent terrain, districts, and tile improvements (such as Woods, Entertainment Complexes, and Mines) do not affect Mountains, but the bonuses provided by the Eiffel Tower, the Golden Gate Bridge, and the Great Engineers Alvar Aalto and Charles Correa do serve to increase Mountains' Appeal. The Inca, being able to work Mountains, can make good use of their innate Appeal by choosing the Earth Goddess pantheon or building a Preserve next to them.
== Mountain range names ==
Gathering Storm introduced a new mechanic in which Mountains can have different names based on the first civilization that finds them. Below is the list of the names and civilization of origin, all named after real mountain ranges.
