【Wonder】Three Gorges Dam

Unlock the Power of the Three Gorges Dam in Civilization VI

Prepare to reshape your empire’s energy landscape with a monumental new wonder for Sid Meier’s Civilization VI. This mod introduces the awe-inspiring Three Gorges Dam, a marvel of engineering that offers unparalleled strategic advantages and a visually stunning addition to your game.

A Modern Marvel of Engineering

The Three Gorges Dam is a testament to modern ambition, arriving in the crucial Modern Era. To harness its potential, players will need to have researched Electricity, setting the stage for a significant technological leap. The considerable investment of 1620 production is richly rewarded with a game-changing structure that will impact your cities and infrastructure for the remainder of your playthrough.

Strategic Floodplain and Power Dominance

Beyond its impressive production cost, the Three Gorges Dam provides unique benefits that directly address some of Civilization VI’s most challenging environmental factors. Its presence grants remarkable protection to adjacent river floodplains. While the familiar boosts from flooding are halved, the immunity to flood damage ensures your vital districts and improvements remain safe from destructive inundation. This offers a crucial layer of security for cities situated along major waterways. Furthermore, the dam becomes a powerhouse of renewable energy, radiating benefits across your empire.

Key Features of the Three Gorges Dam:

• Era and Technology: Available in the Modern Era, unlocked with Electricity.
• Production Cost: Requires 1620 Production.
• Floodplain Resilience: Floodplains tiles adjacent to the dam are immune to flood damage, with a 50% reduction in Food and Production bonuses from floods.
• Massive Power Generation: All cities gain +3 Power from renewable water sources.
• Extended Power Radius: Provides an additional +2 Power to all cities within 12 tiles.
• Close-Range Power Boost: Offers a further +2 Power to all cities within 6 tiles.
• Placement Requirements: Must be built adjacent to a river and a mountain tile.

The strategic placement is paramount, demanding proximity to both a river and a mountain. While there might be minor visual anomalies if placed near coastal tiles, rest assured that the dam’s functionality remains intact, ensuring your empire benefits from this incredible feat of engineering.
