Shield bonus for deforesting

[Gregski]

Can anyone tell me what the rule is for receiving the shield bonus for deforesting? Sometimes I get the 10 shield bonus added to production of the current item in the nearest city, but sometimes I don't.

You can only get the bonus once in a game - since the patch.

You can't use the bonus for wonders - you just don't get them.

You mean one shield bonus per square per game? That's a bit restrictive for faraway cities for whom this is the main source of shield production. In the game I am playing at the moment I have a island city with 4 workers who do nothing but forest, clear, start over. Guess I'll have to organise the layoffs...

they should have droped the bonus a little and increased the plant and/or
clear time a tiny bit.
Once per square per game is silly unrealistic and annoying.

I personaly didnt use the clear forest strat much but still.

Thank you Firaxis for providing a knee jerk reaction fix and removing
a valid (if at the time a bit overpowered) stratagy from the game.
