I really really really hope desert tiles are not a thing in the next civ game...

I really hate how they are worth nothing and if you are just not lucky enough to get petra your ♥♥♥♥ed. If they have to keep the tile at least add another building that makes desert tiles worth something and not a death sentence

civ vi will have deserts because planet earth has deserts.

I love how everyone is defending dessert tiles on the grounds that you get the perfect start into the perfect wonders into the perfect game... such scrubs..

Desert starts are amazing if you get desert folklore and/or Petra.
If you don't, they're just as good as any other start, because they're full of flood plains and resources that make them just as good as anywhere else.

I don't think anyone's assuming a perfect start and perfect wonder production. But there's a lot of nice stuff you can get out of a desert start. You seem unable to comprehend any desert start other than flat, resource-less, river-free desert as far as the eye can see.

It does force your hand to bee line for Petra and Piety, and keeping your fingers crossed none of the others started in the desert, so you're competing with second cities rather than capitals to build it. It's not perfect, nor does it need to be. But if you manage it, you're starting the game on a solid foundation.

they should make deserts/snow cause damage to units that cross them unless certain techs are researched or you have an ability that nullifies it
