Nepal

Nepal turns Mountain terrain into genuine city infrastructure — the only Modern civilization that can place standard Warehouse Buildings directly on Mountains, at the cost of higher upkeep for doing so.

Unique Ability

"Roof of the World" lets all Warehouse Buildings apply their effects to Mountain tiles, which no other civilization can normally build on in a meaningful way — but those buildings cost increased Food and Happiness maintenance as a result.

How to Play Nepal

  • Settle deliberately near Mountain clusters — Nepal's core ability only pays off if you actually have Mountains to build Warehouse Buildings on.
  • Budget for the increased maintenance cost before committing to a Mountain-heavy build — the Food and Happiness upkeep is real, not a minor footnote.
  • Treat this as a genuine terrain-conversion strategy rather than a small bonus — it changes what Mountain tiles are for in a way no other civilization replicates.
