Clearing forest after planting the trees

[chopshop]

When I was playing with vanilla Civ III, I was able to plant trees on a tile and then clear it in the same turn in order to gain 10 shield to the adjacent city. However, now with patch 1.29 installed. I am no longer able to gain 10 shields when I do that. All the work just went to waste. Is that a new tweak? Or do I have to wait so many year until the forest matures before I can clear it, again?

thx

AFAIK, that was a tweak to prevent just what you did.

Thanks for the reply. Ok, I admit that trick was a bit unfair to AI, but in reality, trees do mature and we should get a chance to re-clear it in a few decades. Does that hold true in the patch?

thx

Oy... i don't recall if you can do it after x amount of turns...





Arrrrgh! That's what happens when i have too many games. Maybe someone else can answer. I do recall this issue being addressed, but i don't remember the specifics, anymore. Sorry!

(Besides... shouldn't this be in another forum - instead of the Civ4 one? )

AFAIK you only get the shield bonus the first time a forest is cleared.

TED is correct, you only get the bonus once

Thanks all. I did post it to the wrong group by mistake, but you replied so fast I really appreciate it.
