True. Definitely not a good idea.Originally posted by Ambiorix
Also, pop-rushing a settler may not be a good idea if no bonus food is available in the first city's radius. Anybody has any thoughts on that ?
Right again. The production eta is not taking into account the forest that is being cut, so you should do one of three things:Here's another simple question, although I could just test it : if cutting a forest is done in 5 turns, and you're building something that's also going to be finished in 5 turns, do the bonus shields get wasted ? Should I finish my build in 4 turns ? That would mean the new build gets production from the first turn and 10 bonus shields in that same turn. Right ?
(1) speed up the production so the 10 shields are used for the next product;
(2) slow down the production (grow faster or increase your income instead) so the 10 shields actually help;
(3) wait one turn with cutting down the forest (or maybe build a road first).
Take care if your citizens are working the forest tile: on the turn the forest is cut, you get the bonus 10 shields, but not the normal 2 shields! Instead, you get the 0 or 1 shield(s) of the terrain it was covering.
