So what's up with the AI avoiding to expand to tiles that have forests on them? I like playing as Iroqois and the AI just keeps expanding to tiles without forests, even when the forested tile is clearly better for example it expanded to a plains tile instead of a river plains tile cause that one had a forest on it.
 
Ya, when your playing as them you'd think it would take forests sooner. What I do is try an buy the cheaper tiles, and then my pops hopefully will be the ones I won't. You can only do this if you've got the cash, and granted most of the early game you won't.
 
Yes, I've encountered this too. I like the free forest roads you get with the Iroquois, but if you have to keep buying the forest tiles to connect your cities it cuts into the benefits. Maybe the pattern of border expansion should be different for civs with different abilities, like the Iroquois.
