Meteor Shower (Civ6)

Meteor Shower icon

A Meteor Shower is a natural disaster in Civilization VI, introduced in the Maya & Gran Colombia Pack. It is the only disaster that exclusively affects neutral territory.

Mechanics[]

The Meteor Sites that Meteor Showers produce are treated as Tribal Villages by the game. They can be activated the same way (either by moving a unit onto their tile or expanding a city's borders to claim it) and provide all of the associated bonuses (such as awarding recon units +5 XP and giving players a chance to discover the Voidsingers).

The heavy cavalry unit received will be the strongest heavy cavalry unit players are capable of training. Players will still receive a Heavy Chariot even if they have not researched Wheel.

Havoc caused by Meteor Showers is minimal. Even if the meteor falls on a unit, that unit takes no damage. However, if the meteor falls on a tile improvement (Forts, Airstrips, Missile Silos, etc.), the improvement will be removed.

Bugs[]

Meteor Showers will never land on Tundra or Tundra Hills tiles. The reason why these terrain types are excluded is unknown.
