Proposal (6-30): Make Coal Spawn on Tundra and Desert
There was some discussion about the lack of coal and imbalance of its distribution on communitas maps, but the problem is present on all the standart mapscripts (afaik). The base CIV5 only allows TERRAIN_PLAINS and TERRAIN_GRASS for coal and it severely cripples already resouse-starved desert and tundra starts. Moreover, coal is the only strategic that cannot spawn in tundra.
So my proposition is to allow coal to spawn on desert and tundra tiles. It wouldn't even contradict the real world.

Proposal (6-30a): Make Coal Spawn in Forests (Grassland and Plains)
Currently coal spawns on featureless grassland and plains, while oil spawns on flat desert, tundra, snow, marsh and jungle. They have no overlaps but notably neither of them spawn in forests.
I propose to add coal spawns in grassland and plains forests, so they make better complements.
Note: will have the side effect of slightly reducing Iron spawn in the targeted area.
