Volcanoes should act like artillery, instead of spewing pollution. In the real world, volcanoes are generally some of the most fertile areas, which is why people always live next to them.
Really big volcanic erruptions should act like nuclear explosions (sans pollution).Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

Volcanic deposits do not become fertile for years (or even decades) after an eruption.
I think maybe polution that only lasts 5-10 turns would be better than no pollution at all.
Or....(!) maybe once you clear the pollution, you also gain one extra food on that tile, regardless of terrain type or previous improvements. This would encourage cities near volcanos, despite the risks (as in real life).

Maybe it would be appropriate to mod volcanoes to produce 2 or 3 food? This would compensate for the polution in surrounding tiles, and make putting a city 2 tiles away a pretty nice spot (even if there is a small risk of decimation, although I've never seen it happen 2 tiles away).
The only problem is that, of course, the AI would always plop a city next to it.
Maybe it would make more sense if a volcano killed pop like disease for cities (and still polluted and destroyed units, but not destroyed cities) and/or destroyed improvements.
This way you'd still want to put a city there, but would have to deal with some devestating effects every once in a while.

I lost a city too, as well as some automated workers.
We need a "automatic but DON'T GO NEAR THE VOLCANO" command.The greatest delight for man is to inflict defeat on his enemies, to drive them before him, to see those dear to them with their faces bathed in tears, to bestride their horses, to crush in his arms their daughters and wives.

In one of the first C3C games I played I wasn't paying attention and built my second city next to a volcano. It was a real producer and built the GL and HG. I was laughing when I saw Pompeii destroyed by a volcano. And later noticed that my cities were in revolt and no city, the volcano destroyed my wonder city. The pop-up said a volcano went off but I didn't see anything about the city being destroyed.This is also the game I learned about shift-D because later on a about 15 of my workers were killed by an eruption. I was on a penninsula with about 10 volcanoes on it.

They're fun to watch errupt.Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...
