Question on settlers

[Zerbean]

Ok I was just wondering on this for settlers... I know you can change land into forest, but i cant change tundra into forest?? I always thought you could... just made a waste of two cities if you cant ;( just tried something i havent done before... expand as fast as possible... already have 8 cities and its not even 1500 BC

No.

"Tundra: These sparse lands of permafrost produce only a small amount of food from grazing animals. There is no agriculture or use for irrigation. These areas cannot be converted to other terrain and make very poor city sites." (Civ manual page 26)
