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.
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.
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.
Yes you can pillage districts and improvements with bombers and WMDs - as stated these do not yield pillage rewards. Districts and buildings in the district must be repaired in the city, whereas improvements may be repaired by a builder. It should also be noted that that repairing improvements doesn’t count as a builder use. Additional loss of strategic resources does not impact the attack strength of associated units as in Civ 5 (i.e pillage all iron resources of a civ will not weaken that civs existing swordsman, just prevent them from creating new ones).
