Cannot "give" shields to cities

[chrisman1]

Hi folks, my first post and I apologize if this has been asked elsewhere. I searched but couldn't find anything.

anyways, in my current game I don't seem to be able to give shields to cities through forest clearing or disbanding units. Two questions:

1. Is there a certain tech you need to learn before cities can receive shields from disbanded units or cleared forests?

2. Does corruption take those shields? I'm trying to build the forbidden palace in a city with high corruption, so maybe those shields are just lost to corruption.


Thanks in advance.

Regarding 1 no.
Regarding 2 no also. 2 I think makes the problem clear. You can NOT disband units or chop forests toward a great or small wonder. If you chop a forest next to a city building your FP it does nothing for you. You can chop forests or disband units for shields towards a unit or city improvement. Once you've used some shields towards a unit or city improvement via a chop or disbandment, you may switch to another imporvement or unit, but you may not switch to a great or small wonder.

Thanks for that
