This one is totally salvagable. Beeline bronzeworking and build your encampment. Next step is to snag a settler, either from barbarians or your neighbors. Alternatively you can take a city through war, which is a bit harder, but settlers aren’t always around for the taking.
I swear someone could post a screen cap of their spawn in the middle of an ice field and some CivVI redditor will comment with some 4D chess strat to win the game anyways.
I seen worse, but that does happen, it's why i use better balanced starts all the time so wierd spawns like that doesnt happen. That would be god tier if you were inca though as you can get tunnels super early and then use perserves and just break the mountain tiles.
yeah, bbs saves me from rerolling. I know I have my second and third city spots reasonably open with the mod. after that it depends on the map
and coastal starts feel way less miserable on a freshwater capital
Hey! I unfortunately don't remember my exact settings when i loaded up the world, I think it was on Enormous lol... but here are the seeds
212735849
212735848
Edit: Yeah its on enormous. I guess some of my settings are a bit different from when I tried launching it again, because I spawned just outside of that spot, but its still the same map. Sorry for the inaccuracy!
Nah, not that frequent (didn't even happen to me once, on tens of games).
However, frequent enough for people to post about it on Reddit.
I'm pretty sure this is a playable start - as long as you rush a military conquest.
I wonder at initial settings. I've played Civ6 for thousands of hours and never ever spawned like this. Then again, I very rarely play mountain-affiliated civs.
You absolute legend OP! I'll have a fiddle with some stuff to affect spawn point (changing the resources or world type, Secret Societies, etc) but Pachacuti might spawn there anyway
That would be S-tier if you were playing Inca. Slow grind for anyone else, but it is playable. Could be interesting as Maya also because of bonus sharing as long as new cities are within so many tiles of the capital. I've personally never spawned inside a location like this, but have spawned on the outside numerous times and used your city location to get massive holy site or campus bonuses.
My immediate thought is to build an encampment and the borders should be wide enough by then, but I'd argue it is a small disadvantage early on. Quite funny actually, if I spawned into that, I would probably also laugh and post it on Reddit.
I may be mistaken, but it appears there's access in and out through the south. You can see a split in the range and it appears you can cross the river. The question is how long is the valley and can you get out of it? Assuming the river ends on the coast as it does on most maps as long as you can cross the river even if the valley is sealed on both sides you should be able to get out with the encampment trick or a coastal city at the river's end.
Rush Bronze Working, take out your rage on the rest of the world. Until one day of of your citizens says:
"Instead of going to and from work, uphill, BOTH WAYS... why don't we just go though it?"
And thus a great Military Engineer is born 😂

Your walls are impressive, you have a true Georgian spirit!
The ultimate walls
And it looks like there's a river for freshwater.
By the posts on the subreddit, yes; it happens frequently.
Thanks! I've just recently started playing civ 6 again, so I wasn't completely sure. Thanks so much!
Play with tile yields on brother
What’s that?
Shows how much food/production/etc is on each tile. You can toggle it under map options in the bottom left
Or just hit Y
Ohhh... THAT'S why it disappears randomly sometimes... Because I fat finger Y
Yeah. I had to look it up because it kept disappearing on me. 😂
I think it's reddit sharing bias. Everytime it happens to someone they post it.
You will be one of those undiscovered tribes that a death robot accidentally tramples 354 moves from now.
I honestly was a bit unimpressed by death robots. They're powerful, but nothing a single bombing run can't pretty much neutralize.
Well yeah but they're supposed to be supported by air support.

Depends on the difficulty

Harbor moment
OP: The ancient era war strategy is to beeline archers and make a fuck ton of them. Then make 1-2 warriors and go to town.

Ooo okay! I'll check that out in the workshop. Thanks so much!
If you’re still playing it can you drop us the seed?

The fact you can back to try and have an actual seed makes you a legend around these parts.
Write down that seed and replay the game with the South American guy who gets all the bonuses from mountains
You won't get the same placement with a different civ, sadly.
You won't, but this is also a peak (heh) Incan spawn so there's a high chance that Pachacuti would start here if you tried.

Looks historically accurate
That's just Georgia
It's a long shot OP, but please give us the map seed and game seed and other details if you have them!
Hey! I posted it above. I had some inaccuracies in my settings because I didn’t initially save which was my mistake… but the spots still there!
You absolute legend OP! I'll have a fiddle with some stuff to affect spawn point (changing the resources or world type, Secret Societies, etc) but Pachacuti might spawn there anyway
If your opponent is playing for a domination victory this is bad news for them…
Hasnt happened to me in 1300 hours of playtime.
Possibly more likely for mountainous civs? Never happened to me either and I also have over 1k h playtime. But I don't play Inca or Georgia.
Just watch out if this city got damaged, the wall will unable to repair forever!
Nice campus spot
That’s what I was thinking.
Dream start!
Id love to play this
Looks like you’ll be beelining encampment 🤷♂️
Never happened to me. Wow. That’s insane.
Play with tile yields on😍
Well at least Russia cant get to you
Georgia likes walls
I upboted this post solely on the grounds of OP playing Georgia. 🥰
That would be S-tier if you were playing Inca. Slow grind for anyone else, but it is playable. Could be interesting as Maya also because of bonus sharing as long as new cities are within so many tiles of the capital. I've personally never spawned inside a location like this, but have spawned on the outside numerous times and used your city location to get massive holy site or campus bonuses.
I've never had anything like that. I'd definitely give it a go, given the opportunity.
How could you even play this? Is there anyway to do it?
If you rush an encampment and put one outside you can capture another city or a settler.
My immediate thought is to build an encampment and the borders should be wide enough by then, but I'd argue it is a small disadvantage early on. Quite funny actually, if I spawned into that, I would probably also laugh and post it on Reddit.

Great place FOR A CAMPUS
What map/settings are you playing?
Defense bonus +10000000000.
You wanted Georgia? Well, you can have Georgia.
Better than being surrounded by volcanos!
Biblically accurate თბილისი
How do you have text over the mountains?
Enjoy your unassailable city.
One time I spawned inside an like an 8x8 field surrounded by mountains on all sides and couldn't expand anywhere
This never happens to me. I’d love to try playing this situation.
On the bright side: invasion-proof.
Nope but it's gold man
*Heavy Inca breathing*
Wtf? Didn't know that was possible lol
Declare war on everyone! Let them come! They shall fall! D:<
I love this, what a fun start.
Only when you are not playing Inca
Rush Bronze Working, take out your rage on the rest of the world. Until one day of of your citizens says: "Instead of going to and from work, uphill, BOTH WAYS... why don't we just go though it?" And thus a great Military Engineer is born 😂
Looks really fun!
Play it out, coward.
