BackArrowGreen Back to Terrain

Marsh is a type of terrain feature found on Grassland.

  • Yield Modifier: +1 Food Food
  • +1 Production Production with Lady of Reed and Marshes pantheon belief.
  • Lowers Appeal of surrounding tiles.
  • Confers a combat penalty to units defending in it

Strategy

Unlike in Civilization V, marshes are more useful for a city. They now provide +1 Food Food, making them helpful for promoting population growth. The Lady of Reeds and Marshes pantheon also adds +1 Production Production. Some interesting Resources are found exclusively on Marsh tiles, for example Sugar.

They are not without drawbacks however. Marshes still provide movement and combat penalties to units. In addition, like rainforests they will decrease the Appeal of nearby tiles.

Irrigation

Marshes are of limited use until Irrigation has been researched. Once that has occurred each marsh can be:

  • Harvested to provide a lump sum of Food Food to the city owning their tile. It becomes a Plains.
  • Improved as if were a Plains.
  • The site of a Wonder or district as if were a Plains.

Historical Context

Covered with herbaceous rather than woody plants, these freshwater wetlands are generally found along slow-flowing rivers or on the banks of lakes. Home to an incredible variety of valuable things, plant and animal, in some civilizations, towns in marshes and swamps grew into great cities: St. Petersburg, New Orleans, and the Brazilian ones in the Pantanal.
