Mountains (or Peaks) are a type of terrain in the Civilization, Call to Power, and Colonization games. They are the highest terrain in the world and very distinctive.
In most Civilization games, building a city on a mountain would be foolish because it would seldom have enough food to grow, though its defensive strength would be good. In Colonization games, a colony cannot be built on a mountain. However, many mountain tiles contain valuable resources exploitable by miners.
