Desert (Civ6)

Desert is a base terrain in Civilization VI. It is found in many parts of the world, sometimes as great expanses, sometimes as single tiles.
* Base yields:
** None
* +1 adjacency bonus for Holy Sites with Desert Folklore pantheon
* May cause the formation of dust storms, which will bring destruction but also may fertilize affected tiles, giving them and/or base yield.
== Strategy ==
Without any Oases or Floodplains, Desert tiles are not suited for settlement (except for Australia and Nubia, which can build their unique tile improvements there; and Mali, which gains a great number of bonuses to Desert tiles). For any city within or near a desert, the bare Desert tiles should be reserved for districts or wonders unless a resource is found there. Thankfully, there are a few resources - such as , , and the all-important (without which there are no modern airplanes) - that are found mostly or only in deserts.
The Petra wonder can make deserts far more useful: it increases the base yield of Desert tiles to be comparable to Grassland Hills or Rainforest Plains, and extends the bonus to Oases (but not Floodplains). An Oasis in range of Petra will have the outstanding yield of 5 , 1 , and 3 !
Deserts can also turn into great boosters for civilizations which adopt the Desert Folklore pantheon. Build a Holy Site in the middle of a desert for a whopping adjacency bonus of +5 or more!
Maui spawns on Desert tiles if no luxury resources can be spawned.
== Desert names ==
Gathering Storm introduced a new mechanic in which Deserts can have different names based on the first civilization that finds them. Below is the list of the names and civilization of origin.
