An Oasis is a type of terrain feature in Civilization V.
Game Info[]
Terrain feature found on Desert tiles.
- Base yield: 3 Food, 1 Gold
- Attributes:
- Counts as land for movement purposes.
- Cannot be improved.
- Provides all surrounding land tiles with fresh water.
- Allows adjacent cities to construct Gardens.
Strategy[]
An Oasis is great news for a civilization which needs to establish a city in the desert. Although it can't be improved, its base yield is already good: it provides the precious Food, a very rare commodity in desert areas, and it is the only terrain feature which still yields Gold in Brave New World. This makes Oases very valuable in the early and middle game - try to include them in your borders ASAP.
Civilopedia entry[]
An oasis is an especially lush and verdant area within a desert, usually because it sits atop a source of clean and plentiful water. Oases are extremely valuable resources in an otherwise barren and lifeless desert, and countless battles have been fought between desperate desert tribesmen to possess them.
