As Japan, I had two Cities on an island and the rest of my civilisation on the mainland. Realising that I could connect my civilisation by a bridge, I of course worked on it. Missed it by 4 turns, because Germany wanted to connect their mainland to a single-tile island with a desert hill on it. Sent a Kaiju robot at them is what I did.
@ekki1993 as a thought, it could make the tiles on its ends ignore the distance and make them adjacent for bonuses. Also a 2-tile bridge would look just fine
Ngl I had a pretty useful Golden Gate Bridge in my last play through. Mountains made railways impossible, it was the only way for seamless transfer between landmasses. I was so proud of myself of actually making realistic practical use of this wonder
I don't understand why there aren't green district bridges in civ 6. Having to use this one wonder for something as simple as a bridge is really disappointing.
It's rare that I get this wonder but I always use it try connect land masses if I can. Not because doing so is strategically valuable but because it's just really satisfying.
@@lucjanl1262 In Antiquity the two mounts were known as the "Pillar of Hercules" as it was the furthest he went in his journey and supposedly there was nothing past that.
I used golden gate in a Bull Moose Teddy game to double the tourism of 6 very high appeal national parks, that city got 1700 tourism per turn. My jaw was hanging so low after that.
I hate how cliff walls block movement through the bridge. That is a nasty bug in my opinion. I mean, imagine building the bridge but not making it go through the existing cliff walls. LOL + EDIT: Someone said that if you do both normal roads (2 engineer charges) and railroads on both sides of the Golden Gate, it can traverse cliffs. I did not test it yet though.
This wonder typically isn’t very useful but in certain situations it really helps, I had a situation with germany bordering 2 cities of mine on a different land mass and they had a powerful navy. I built the bridge connecting them and was able to get my units across without embarking. Definitely helped because they had a lot of U boats that probably would’ve got some of my embarked units
Its so beautiful! 🥺 Ever since I was a little kid looking at a map I wanted this to happen and this legend makes it happen! Thank _you_ for your great service to mankind... I think I am gonna _cry_
One mega-tsunami from the Canaries would soon devour that beautiful house of cards! 😂 Hopefully Civ VI Leader Pass will include earthquakes and tsunamis... 🤞 ☺ 👍
A fun but questing joke my brother told me in high school was the longest bridge in the world was the Richmond Bridge. It connects North America to Africa
I remember back in the day I was going against my friend and I was developing ICMB nukes and I developed them without him knowing while having full scale war and man that dude was mad when I started launching it at him wiping out his cities. I was also building a city on his continent that was hidden, which was amassing troops in the ready to start attacking the moment nukes hit.
it's not pointless tho. Having your units embark on that spot is death for those units in a domination only game. You would have to either permanently station an armada there to protect embarked units or build a bridge. Not to mention the 1-2 turns saved from not having to embark. When moving 10 units it makes a huge difference.
I think its problem is that it requires a lot of water to build, but it mostly benefits national parks which require a lot of land. One of those “more useful IRL than in the game” wonders because a lot of one-tile gaps in the TSL map would greatly benefit from a big bridge. Assuming proper environmental precautions and safety measures of course. The most ironic part is that you can’t even build it in its irl location 🤣
Oracle: one of the best early game wonders that would help you in the long run AI: naah that's lame Golden gate bridge: a very situational wonder that is most times not worth building. AI: I need it to connect it to my 1 tile island, I will get it at all cost.
On thing that’s lame about the Earth maps is that a lot of the geography names get scrambled, like this Gibraltar sits on the edge of the Indian Ocean 😅
i love how it connects directly into a canal
So useful right???
Lmao 💀gotta go around that Canal with roads

Nice, could have nuked also
germany main here, i would also attack myself if i did something that stupid
I’ve got a question, if another civ builds a wonder is it still removed from the game even after you raze the city they built it in?
@@Hirohito_iLoveYou Yes indeed.
"I could stare at that for hours" People don't understand how accomplished a Civ player feels about certain formations of the country
Especially when a wonder has meant many potential military units sacrificed
I just spend 50 turns after I win a game covering every inch of my empire with railways.
Me, the first time i put preserve beside chocolate hill and built national park on it
Useful until he realises that its untraversable due to the cliffs
Culture and end game pts
i think they should had bridge has a district and extend the golden gate to a 1-3 case like the panama canal.
that's a good fuckin idea, i love that
100% agree, perhaps a mod maker could make this real
Or it could be the same size with better bonuses. Something tells me that a longer bridge would look way goofier than a longer canal does.
I believe there is a mod that adds bridges as districts similar to canals, dams and aqueducts. never tried it tho

It should be renamed as the "Gate of Hercules" if you place it in the strait of Gibraltar
Why

@@Dethcat12 Thank you for the history lesson
the city next to the bridge should have been renamed to "non plus ultra"

Lol who cares about tourism or culture, I always go for either diplomatic or domination victory. I love using tactics to wipe out superior armies 😂
@@GreenLeafUponTheSky who cares about diplomatic victories?
@@GreenLeafUponTheSky You dug your own grave for that "diplomatic victory." 🤢

So this means the two continents aren't actually connected?
@@chinmayhejmadi7902 yep
@Gustavo Neves I went from not giving a sh- to sad upon hearing this.
Kinda wish that Gibraltar was still a natural wonder. Maybe traders that start in the city that owns the tile gains +3 or +5 gold?
It would be amazing to see in Civ 6 - totally agree
@@UrsaRyan It is a wonder in BBS i think!
Maybe has a really high defense value and also generates gold

I love how this video always randomly appears in my recommendions again and again to drive home how great this wonder is.
hahaha algorithm loves it and I have no idea why
The turn RIGHT after I finished the GGB the oceans rose, rendering it useless.

This was the correct response, thank you
I would really like a New district like Canals but with bridges
There is a mod that adds it, but yes a bridge would be awesome!
“Well done tonight”
“You’re welcome”
I love him
Never had one this useful tbh
I had one where half a cities districts were on an island one tile from the center, golden gate was perfect for it
“It’s an actual useful golden gate!”
I like the implication that the real golden gate is actually useless lmao.
ai will build it to connect nothing, is what he means.
As a San Franciscan this sent me reeling
I’m glad you like it. I always want to watch those cutscenes but I’m too impatient from hours of playing
This is so uncessarily brilliant
as someone who is spanish, what you did is start the apocalypse
I had an inland sea game and connected it with a Panama canal connecting to a city with another canal for a 3 tile canal, which actually saved my game
Oh as someone from Tangier, this is art.
I once connected France and Britain with the Golden Gate Bridge after conquering all of Europe as England on a TSL campaign. Best campaign ever, man.
One mega-tsunami from the Canaries would soon devour that beautiful house of cards! 😂 Hopefully Civ VI Leader Pass will include earthquakes and tsunamis... 🤞 ☺ 👍
not really hopeful for that feature, since this pass focus solely on adding new leaders and new personas on existing leaders...
@@noblenaveragemanointernet2582 Well yeah we know that now lol... shame tho!
"Another Civilization made the golden gate before you finished"
My civ: "Oh well, guess we'll never connect these two continents now! Light it up, Tony!" *detonates TNT*
You my friend have earned that thumbs up
I do this just about every playthrough. So satisfying to connect two large land masses
Gibraltar bridge Wolfenstein reference
A bridge connecting the two would be a truly incredible piece of engineering
imagine a world!
JESUS. THAT'S.. *URSA'S VOICE!!!*
What a moment.

Atlantropa moment
Every golden gate I build connects to mountains 😢
tis the wonder and loss of the golden gate!
Mark Fisher sounds happy
I was England and had 40 engineers spamming railroads, got the golden gate and connected to Europe making transport so much easier.
How to get patience enough to get over 100 turns before you log out and then start over
Never in my life have I know that you can spin the map
Once had a really useful golden gate bridge and built it. It was that day that I learned that if either side has a cliff it doesn't work 🙂

There is nothing more satesfying to get a panama canal or golden gate bridge on a really good location, espessialy on a naturaly generated map
don't let a boat hit it.
That is pretty awesome!
Congrats!
Mind blowing that people get this far. I’ve got a capital and yea that’s about it
I wish that game had more Wonders.
Lol the goldengate bridge should've been 3 tiles long l8ke the panima canal and gave use sigle tile bridge district to build to
I connected Eurasia and North America in the Bering Strait with such a bridge
Its great!! Still enjoying this :D
Why is it built sideways?? 😔
You're very friendly, I guess
Sadly IRL a bridge over Gibralta is way too costly.
Wish there were more bridges tbh
I don't build the bridge for effects, i build it for aesthetics ✨️-culutre gamers
imagine how many times they would have to lift that bridge for trade barges, i don’t know if anyone could get across it
Oh it’s beautiful
Never build a bridge in gibraltar. Thank you
Brother is actually playing sweden
Shit sorry you just have Swedish colors
AI: uses it in a lake
Atlantropa 🙋🏼♂️🇩🇪❤️
Wait you can rotate the map ?
Hold alt and click
Thank you a lot i will check that later
@@UrsaRyanI know I’m way late, but thanks for this info.
As someone who lives in Morocco if that bridge is real half of Moroccan and Africans will cross that one in a way or another
What map are you using? That looks much bigger than the vanilla world map
I'd say building it in North America connecting the California Peninsula with central America is more pointless, but you do you. :)
That would be a lot of fun to be fair!
The real question is, can i build 3 gorges dam and create atlantropa?
Wwwow... so this is what the world coming to...
Thats so awesome hahaha
I enjoyed this one a lot!!
Not pointless its amazing
Both can be true!
sanest civ 6 player
How did you rotate the camera view?
Nice!
Wolfenstein
Do you use a real World map? And of yes, which are using?
Civ 6 was more like Civilization revolution for the fact that if someone is firing a nuke you know who it is and you can see the nuke go unlike civ 6
Where did you get this map from???

How do you move the camera like that?
Can you spin the map on PS4?? Honest question 😂
Hacer maravillas es mi pasión desde civ 5
I've only played civ 4. Is this a world wonder for civ 6, or can you build this anywhere there is 1 water tile between land?
So is it pointless or useful?
Yes
In all seriousness as a wonder it can be very useful, if you plan for it and you're very specific - this wonder was aesthetic only
How do you spin the map around like that?
What do you toggle to see the other players stats at the top of the screen?
Its the "hud ribbons" option in the menu. Change it to always show
@@ccccccc-g7m much appreciated
Would a culture victory work just as well
How do you turn the map like that

Why pointless? Seems like a great spot for that, one.. Two, I myself would love to acquire that. 🤔
Can you walk troops across it? I’ve never built it before.
You certainly can!
