You do know that you can build mines without chopping the trees, don't you. In fact many improvements go right in the trees. Tree chopping has moved to Iron Working from Bronze Working in RoM 2.8.
Yikes. I didn't know this. Is this a feature of ROM or was it brought in with a patch? And do you mean to say you can build cottages, farms etc on forests also? I'd check for myself but I'm not at home.
