Description:

Wetlands are among the world’s most productive ecosystems. Throughout history, many people have relied on them to provide for their needs – food, construction material, and fuel.

In Civilization VI, however, they are barely represented, and only with very little depth. Marshes offer a bit extra Food, but that is it. This mod aims to change that by adding more gameplay around the various wetlands found ingame.

Requires Gathering Storm.

• Floodplains can now appear on Tundra. These Tundra Floodplains are fully functional: they can flood and receive extra yields from floods. Unique improvements and wonders which can be built on any type of floodplain can be built on these as well.
• Tundra Floodplains receive +1 Food by default.
• New Bonus Resources for more Production in wetlands (both give +1 Production by default).
• Peat: improved by Quarry. Can appear on Marsh and Floodplains (Plains, Tundra). Requires Machinery to harvest (for Production).
• Swamp: Improved by Reed Home (see below). Can appear on Floodplains (Grass, Desert, and Tundra). Requires Iron Working to harvest (for Food and Production).
• Includes custom artwork for all resources and their improvements.
• Oasis Garden: New improvement which can be built on Oases and provides Food and Gold, and later also Production and Tourism. With custom graphics!
• Irrigation Farm: New improvement built on Desert Floodplains, sharing graphics with the Oasis Garden. Similar to regular Farms.
• Reed Home: New improvement built on Marsh or Grass/Plains/Tundra Floodplains as well as Swamps. +1 Food but does not get more Food from technology upgrades, only +1 Production at Mercantilism. However, it cannot be destroyed by natural disasters.
• Works with any map script.

I recommend using this mod together with Vegetation Diversity. With both mods active, Swamps will blend into adjacent Woods and Rainforest seemlessly, adding even more flavor to vegetation.
