Back to Disaster
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.
- Effects:
- Pummels neutral territory, leaving behind a Meteor Site.
- Meteor Site does not grant any extra yields, but the first civilization managing to collect the Meteor Site will receive a free heavy cavalry unit.
- This heavy cavalry unit has no resource maintenance cost.
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 standing in neutral territory, that unit takes no damage. However, if the Meteor falls on a tile improvement that is placed in neutral territory and currently has no unit standing on it (Forts, Airstrips, Missile Silos, etc.), the improvement will be removed.
