thank you for excellent mod!

This is my first user-made mod (only other mod was the space one from an expansion pack). I'm having a blast! I usually play random everything that can be random on monarch. So far I think I've been spoilt by elves being able to build in forests.

Speaking of elves building in forests, the Elohim say they can use captured civ native buildings and units. If they capture an Elf city and then build an Elf worker, will that worker be able to build in forests? If not, how much of a pain would it be to enable this, but just for the Elf workers?

Nope. Anyone can capture elven workers, but only elves can build in the forest.

It used to be the other way (the way you want), but it caused two problems: When elves captured non-elven workers, those workers would chop forests, and when you have elves as your neighbor, they became a worker-farm. If anyone can build in forests, elves lose their uniqueness.

I think its just an XML change, but you should ask in the modmoder's thread (stickied at the top of the page).
