Civilization – bomb resources

civilization-6

I seem to remember being able to bomb an enemy civilizations resources in Civ 4 (perhaps it is Civ 3). Yet in Civ 5 I am not able to do this. Is it available in Civ 6?

It seems to be quite unrealistic to not be able to bomb an enemies resources. This forces them to protect those resources they need the most.

Edit: Just to clarify I am referring to bombing using Great War Bomber, B17, or Jet Fighter. Not atomic/nuclear weapons.

Best Answer

The answer in short is, in Civ VI, yes they can, but for no yield.

EDIT: For more clarification, the resource is set to the same status as pillaged, it produces no additional yield that it's improvement would normally grant you. You can repair the tile with a builder the same as if a land unit pillaged the tile.

  • It is worth mentioning that districts that are pillaged must be fixed through production in the city.

Attributes:

  • May Pillage tile improvements and districts (destroying them, but not gaining yields).
  • May perform a Nuclear and Thermonuclear Strike, if your civilization has these weapons.
