Grassland Floodplains are a terrain feature in Civilization VI: Gathering Storm. They are found on flat Grassland tiles near Rivers.

  • Yields: +2 Food Food; may be enhanced by river flooding disasters.
  • Defense provided: -2 penalty
  • Additional traits:
    • Subject to floodings; they may damage or destroy anything built on them, but may also increase their base yields.
    • -1 Appeal to surrounding tiles.
    • Can accept District District and wonders

Strategy[]

As with other Floodplains, Grassland Floodplains can harness extra Food Food and Production Production from Floods, which are incredibly useful in helping cities, especially early settlements, to grow quickly to become bustling centers of your empire, just like how major cities of ancient civilizations always settle around the riverbank. However, Floods also bring destruction to Farms and District Districts on Floodplains, which can later be prevented by a Dam.

Similar to other types of Floodplains, Grassland Floodplains tiles can support districts but block placements of all tile improvements except for Farms and unique improvements that explicitly say they can be built on Floodplains.

Civilopedia entry[]

Floodplains are the land surrounding a river which are affected most by flooding, usually seasonal flooding, but this may also apply to wider lowland affected by exceptional flooding events. The inundation of this land deposits sediment from upstream, which refreshes the soil quality and makes the floodplains especially suitable for agriculture. Many of the first urban civilizations emerged from river valleys with floodplains, such as Mesopotamia, Egypt, and the Indus.
