cutting forests

IIRC, in BTS, you don't get hammers from chopping when building wonders. Been a while since I played though so don't remember for sure. I haven't tried chopping to finish a wonder in FFH because I just assumed it was the same. Are you building wonders at the time you are chopping?

Don't remember, but that could be it.

This isn't true. Chopping in BTS gives hammers to wonders.

I'm just noticing, often when I cut down a forest, no shields go to the city. I'm guessing its a tech, because later in games, I do get shields for chopping.

Are you playing an Elven civ? Elves don't get any hammers from forest chopping.

IIRC elves aren't able to chop forests at all so I doubt that is the problem.

To see the hammers being applied, mouse over the hammer icon after finishing the chop, and you'll see an entry for it there.

Wait, I think this is it. They are applied to production for next turn now. It didn't used to be that way. It used to be they were directly applied to production immediately.

It was probably changed, because if you then changed whatever you were building, and never went back to building what you originally had, you would lose the chop bonus.

They can chop, there just isn't any point to it.

Yeah, they show up in the production total the turn after; the bar may or may not update.

I had a game not too long ago where for about 6 turns in a row, as my mass-deforestation project completed, I was running about about 90 hammers in my capital (with god-king and several mines) due to bleed-over. That was pretty sweet.
