what would happen if I make the AI buid Workers more often?

I've noticed that the AI often does nothing about the surrounding terrain. Workers stay away from swamps and jungles it seems.

I was playing with the editor to make this Earth map even better. Now, what would happen if I made all the AIs build Workers often?
The funny thing is, I was playing the Incas and they never even touched the Jungles, even though they have workers set as 'build often'.

Anyone ever tried this?

Scary question, really.

Like, with modern technology, can we mate a Bison to a Whale?

Good question.

In my mod AI workers cleaned whole continents originally covered with jungles. One thing you have to look at is if the workerjob "clean wetlands" is fixed to a later tech in your mod/scenario.
