Volcano (Civ6)

A Volcano is a type of terrain feature in Civilization VI: Gathering Storm.
A Volcano is a type of Mountain, and it will confer all relevant bonuses and opportunities (such as the possibility to build an Aqueduct near it). However, Mountain Tunnels, Qhapaq Ñan, Ski Resorts, and Machu Picchu can never be built on a Volcano.
=== Types of Volcanoes ===
There are two states a Volcano can be in: dormant or active. A dormant Volcano cannot erupt and thus behaves like a normal Mountain (for the most part). However, a Volcano can switch between dormant and active states at any moment. The chances of this happening depend on the Disaster Intensity setting, which the player chooses when starting a new game. In general, higher settings always have a greater percentage of active Volcanoes; on Disaster level 4, 95% of all Volcanoes are always active. Also, volcanic natural wonders can never go dormant.
== Volcanic eruptions ==
Active Volcanoes have a chance to erupt, causing damage to anything in the surrounding tiles and fertilizing them with Volcanic Soil.
== Strategy ==
"High risk, high reward" sums up living near a Volcano. Towards the end of a game, volcanic tiles can easily be your most productive tiles. The risk will be linked to the Disaster level and Volcano you discover, with Mount Vesuvius at Level 4 being the most risky. Liang's Reinforced Materials title will provide protection to all tile improvements, s, and buildings within the city. Other ways to limit damage are to build cities at least two tiles away from a Volcano, while tiles around the Volcano itself should be limited to tile improvements (especially Moai). It's easier to repair or replace a tile improvement than to do the same for a building. The first time you establish a city near a Volcano or improve Volcanic Soil will also net an Era Score bonus.
== Volcano names ==
Volcanoes can have different names based on the first civilization that first finds them. Below is the list of the names and civilization of origin. (If a volcano is discovered by a civilization with no volcano names on the list, or the civilization's list of volcanoes is exhausted, then volcano names will be taken from other civilizations or from volcanoes names that aren't connected to a civilization.)
