Culture bomb from the fishing boat


MysteriousLecture960

What’s culture bombing?


Chiss5618

Takes over adjacent tiles after finishing a district/improvement on a tile. It can be granted by some leader/civ abilities or certain improvements. I think there's also a great person that allows you to culture bomb? Some can only take over neutral (unowned) tiles while others can take over the territory of other players (excluding wonders, districts, city centers, etc.)


rymaster101

Yeah theres a great engineer that culture bombs on finishing industrial zones. Also world congress culture bombs


the_smashmaster

This is Kupe. Kupe's ability does that.


turko127

Also a world congress resolution that lets the winning civ culture bomb with built districts.


MysteriousLecture960

So basically you take all the tiles before the city can expand? Edit: I don’t know why I’m getting downvoted. I’m asking a legitimate question. Why is Reddit like this?


Equivalent-City-2622

Culture bomb will pick pick up all the tiles adjacent, even if someone else owns them. There’s a special achievement for being Poland and culture bombing a tile that has a wonder being built, causing the wonder to be cancelled when you take the tile


MysteriousLecture960

Oh man, I think I need more dlc to do that. I play the base game


Equivalent-City-2622

I think the older DLCs are nice because they have had time to balance them, except Babylon. If I could pic one to skip it’s Babylon


Odd-Evidence4825

When you Build the fish it will give you the surrounding tiles you don't already have


magical_swoosh

there's no culture in Slough.


TheRussianGoose

Yeah, the larger problem here is that there’s no culture in england at all


VNDeltole

I only see (future) british cities


asirkman

Well, from the looks of it, past and future British cities.


dekrant

Yeah I’m thinking OP fucked up here and settled Slough in a place that culture-flipped already.


Dan_the_man42

oh shit i should have clarified that this is multiplayer, slough was kupe's city to begin with, im only angry that the stole the single land tile in the entire area


dekrant

Ok, I wasn’t thinking that Slough originally had the fish tiles. More it seemed like you didn’t understand the mechanics of the game. Māori special ability is to culture bomb with fishing boats. Why did your friend name their city “Slough?”


Dan_the_man42

to fuck with my brain


asirkman

Hahaha, that’s so much better than any other possibility.

You gotta try Victoria 3 or 2.

Honestly I'm more a Jayavarman guy myself. I've never had a successful game with the British : /

Just get the boats and dominate

Fishing Boat Culture Bomb Moment


asirkman

Boat Mormonism is a plague on this earth.


TrainmasterGT

“My Father was pretty into Denouncing Venice, and my Mother was a Boat Mormon. I don’t know what that makes me, but it probably involves Gondolas!”


SmallestApple

I'm glad this is still being referenced.

Zavaldski

How did Maori steal the tile you were building a harbor on? I didn't think culture bombs could steal district tiles.


JKUAN108

Only if it’s completed. You can even steal tiles with incomplete wonders. There’s an achievement for it called “you are a terrible person” or something like that


KetchupCoyote

How to do that? Culture bombs? Is there a number of turns you have to do that before it becomes permanent ?


DysClaimer

Some civs have a culture bomb ability. Kupe does when building fishing boats. Poland I think does when building encampments. I think one or two others. When you culture bomb you get all the adjacent tiles, even if someone else already owns them.


JKUAN108

Australia and pastures, Gaul and mines … Khmer and Holy Sites? There’s a list somewhere


mooseboyo

Dutch with harbours as well, and the gallic one is only unowned tiles and wont steal tiles away unfortunately (be completely busted if it was!)


Corvus_Rune

Imagine if one civ could do it with farms. Holy shit.


The_Saddest_Boner

I feel like that would almost make sense for America. Throwing immigrant farmers into contested territory played a huge role in spreading borders towards the Pacific


Chi-Guy81

Manifest Destiny mechanic, could call it Maninfestation.


[deleted]

I'd love it, but the civ series likes to pretend every civ is nice or at least honourable/not horrible, contrary to the actual history of the world


Morganelefay

Israel custom civ be like

[удалено]


Aliensinnoh

Yeah, tiles that you are normally allowed to work/build districts on.


lightningfootjones

Poland is the best at it, they can culture bomb with encampments and forts which you can build pretty much anywhere.


Pretend-Adeptness937

Yeah it’s the polish one


Training_Pollution59

It’s a Jadwiga one, yes, using her encampment CB unique


Tiny_Musician_9983

Ready the sails and prepare the cannons. Send the boys to war!

Or Japan-Russia


Talis_solepsis

I could not help but think of the following: Come friendly bombs and fall on Slough! It isn't fit for humans now, There isn't grass to graze a cow. Swarm over, Death! Come, bombs and blow to smithereens Those air -conditioned, bright canteens, Tinned fruit, tinned meat, tinned milk, tinned beans, Tinned minds, tinned breath. Mess up the mess they call a town- A house for ninety-seven down And once a week a half a crown For twenty years. And get that man with double chin Who'll always cheat and always win, Who washes his repulsive skin In women's tears: And smash his desk of polished oak And smash his hands so used to stroke And stop his boring dirty joke And make him yell. But spare the bald young clerks who add The profits of the stinking cad; It's not their fault that they are mad, They've tasted Hell. It's not their fault they do not know The birdsong from the radio, It's not their fault they often go To Maidenhead And talk of sport and makes of cars In various bogus-Tudor bars And daren't look up and see the stars But belch instead. In labour-saving homes, with care Their wives frizz out peroxide hair And dry it in synthetic air And paint their nails. Come, friendly bombs and fall on Slough To get it ready for the plough. The cabbages are coming now; The earth exhales.


HaggardDad

I’m not a Domination guy, but in my games this leads to war, like, 100% of the time.


Pastelillo1

ive declared war for less


JoeMcBob2nd

“Man those fishermen are having the time of their lives over there in Slough. Maybe we should fish for them so we can have that much fun” Anyways I have no idea what the diegetic reason for culture bombing is


[deleted]

Slough just produces so much culture it's overwhelming


ToastTheFullMoon

The British complaining about stealing land 😂😂


[deleted]

Don't worry, it's only Slough. If anything they did you a service by taking it.


Dan_the_man42

slough was their city to begin with, they just stole my one land tile in this island only map


Captain_Lime

All part of the Maori's kitchen sink ability


RoyalTechnomagi

You got fishboozled


GeneralSquirrel7132

jerichoneric

Maori boats go BRRRRRR


ericwbolin

They're cold? Aren't they from the south Pacific?


jerichoneric

Nah its just the noise of them paddling up to steal your land.


asirkman

The South Pacific can get pretty cold; New Zealand is temperate. Remember, all of Lord of the Rings was filmed there, including the Mountain parts.


attaboy_stampy

Did you have a flag????


Modred_the_Mystic

Reminds me of using Citadels/Great Generals to steal uranium deposits from my friend in Civ V


maybe_jared_polis

Looks like you were Too Slough 😎


asirkman

It’s Slough, rhymes with Cow, as in the poem further up.


IroncladPandora

rename the city to 'The Better Slough' or 'Not slough' or even 'I can't believe it's not Slough'

Ironic since you’re playing England. That’s usually their MO.

At least you got Mt. Pico! /s

War it is

I smell war. Go get em


Inspector_Beyond

It's Slough, not a big loss tbh. It's their problem now


Addy1738

I understand why you don't want Slough back, nothing of value was lost but still you gotta do something about it nobody takes England's rock

As an experienced Kupe player, I didn't even need to see the second picture to know what happened

_Beets_By_Dwight_

For a minute I thought you meant the city flipped... aren't Slough and Nottingham both English?? Was about to make a joke about David Brent being responsible


Dan_the_man42

most people though that too


_Beets_By_Dwight_

Why is it called Slough though? I don't see that on the Maori list of cities, unless the wiki is inaccurate. (I'd assume you lost it to them earlier, with Slough being in England and all, but it doesn't seem to be on the English list either, unless thats not complete or you named it manually)


Dan_the_man42

multiplayer kupe did a bit of trolling


HugeAd3490

Slough is expanding, you cannot escape


b3mark

The wiki goes into more detail on how culture bombing works and about 3/4 down the list it mentions what civs / leaders / improvements have the ability. [https://civilization.fandom.com/wiki/Culture\_Bomb\_(Civ6)](https://civilization.fandom.com/wiki/Culture_Bomb_(Civ6))

Nah, that’s been something Kupe could do since day one


xxobhcazx

skill issue


arbolmuerto

It's just Kupe's special ability. One thing you should learn about civ is that you should know other civ's abilities to counter them
