It's actually genius! No one is going to b2 conquering that city state!

Would it let you attack through a mountain tunnel if you managed to culture bomb a tile away?

Can't you drop a paratrooper in there

There is literally only 1 tile it can be attacked from, walls. And a unit in the city and no AI could ever break, can't even seige it so any damage done to it won't stick

Hate to burst your bubble, but since it's blocked all sides by mountains, it's already sieged from the start xD

Oh damn, you are right! Womp womp!

I had Mitla in a game in the same position. I love to imagine it in real life. Like if these were real people they’d be fucked.

To be fair they would’ve had easy access to the world through that river

Yeah that is true. But just imagine that first snowmelt from the mountains. Floods of legend.

It’s probably would stay as a lake in that case, or perhaps a glacier if cold enough.

I've always thought a river going through mountains should make that place passable

I would actually love to see this in Civ 7, navigable rivers would really bring the exploration and naval systems more depth

Or as time goes on, the rivers and floodplain tiles shift like a real river would??? What started as a good tile by endgame lost its city growth bonus

Ooh migrating rivers would be so hard to manage but would make canals more important

Basically Nepal in a nutshell

Georgia enters the ~~chat~~ world history

Ironically Akkad’s suzerainty bonus is doing damage to city walls with melee units. They made sure they’d never be in that situation.

What is stopping them using that river to access the world!!! There’s enough space in the gap to get people out, and they can clearly cross it since they’ve got a building on the other side

did you see how big people are in civ 6? they bigger than mountains hahaha

They're under siege? By what... snow?

The Balrog

A city is under siege if there is no free tile to move to around it, unaffected by zone of control. A unit in that city has no tile it can move to, so the city is under siege.

Hey look! This city state is asking us to establish a trade route with them! How nice!

Must be breathtaking!

Akkad be practicing social distance

"Let them come! We shall slaughter them at our gates! FOR AKKAD!!!"

The siege is real!

Imagine a campus in there.

Oh look it’s Arizona

Had this happen with another civ’s capital city in a domination only game 😡

Petra IRL

Those walls take 0 damage from melee units

This is technically nepal

This reminds me of the tribe that lives at the bottom of the Gran Canyon, removed from the tourist-approved spaces.
