	Worker question, cutting down forest Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

Noticed something strange in a PBEM I'm doing now. I'm packing my cities close together and many of my future city-sites are on forest squares. Not wanting to waste 10 shields I planned to cut down the forest before I founded cities there but by some reason the forest was cut down and no shields apearred in any of my cities The forest square were outside my cultural borders and the closest city were making barracks. Anyone seen this before? It's PTW 1.27f

The answer:

Even more precisely, they have to be within your city's workrange.

Kind of suspected that. Just never experienced it until now. Just have to plop the cities down on forest then and forget about those 10 shield

Thanks BTW.

	Support Apolyton, buy Civilization: The Boardgame

It was possible in the first 'pre-patched' Civ3 to clear a forest, get the 10 sheilds, then plant another forest, clear it and receive another 10 sheilds, ad nauseum.

This was kinda cool for far away cities w/ high waste, but was seen as an exploit and one of the first things patched.

Just remenicsing the 'Good Ol' Days'

IIRC you can still do that but only once per age or
You can plant forests and chop (getting shields), if there never were any to begin with.
