Forests?

Are you sure about that? I'm pretty sure I've read elsewhere that for pretty much everything else, the game rounds down.

That's what I've read also.

It rounds down, of course. 1 forest give +0 health, 2 forests, +1, 3 forests, +1, 4 forests, +2, and so on. I tested it myself.

The effect of an even number of forests is exactly the same as the effect of the next odd number. 3 is same as 2, 5 is same as 4, and so on.

Note that it also depends on "why are you playing". If you are going for the highest score, you have to pre-chop, chop. Your game will be over by the time you have access to environmentalism.

There are also other ways to play your game. You can for example disable time win condition and go for the largest empire possible with huge cities. Yes, it is likely your final score will be below 1000 or even more likely below 500. But the score doesn't matter all the time anyway.
