Celtic UA: Do roads count as an improvement?

[Minor Annoyance]

Their ability doesn't work unless the forest is unimproved. Do roads count and improvements or just the other ones?

 

[smellymummy]

they do

 

[nefloyd]

Actually, they don't.

 

[smellymummy]

roads aren't improvements?

 

[Erneiz Hyde]

Road is an improvement, but does it affect Celtic's UA? Not really sure about this, I haven't played with them much. I would like to know as well.

 

[nefloyd]

Roads don't count

trading posts, lumber mills, forts (do these remove forest or go on it? unconfirmed by me either way), anything that removes the forest, any great person tile (also haven't confirmed) will mess it up.

I've just played as the Celts to determine this; built roads in every single tile around the city - including those not adjacent but in the city perimeter - and the faith was NOT affected.

Although you only need one tile, so it wouldn't be the end of the world if they were considered improvements.

 

[Minor Annoyance]

Although you only need one tile, so it wouldn't be the end of the world if they were considered improvements.

You get +2 with three tiles.

I have exactly 3 forests next to Edinburgh, 1 has a road, the other two have nothing. City is still making +2 faith from Traits. Roads do not count as an improvement with regard to the Celtic UA.
