Tundra?

Also I'd add that the timing matters, so there are still decisions.

True....mined/RR tundra is the same as roaded forest tundra, so it becomes a decision of when do you get the most benefit from chopping the forest and replacing it with a mine and RR.

Actually, I try to get my tundra railroaded, then forested, even if I do utilize a chop. I'm not sure why, other than the aesthetics of it and possible defense in the unlikely event my arctic cities are ever a target.

Btw, great quote in the sig, Aqualung.

Because later in the game you have a ton of Workers with nothing to do but clean up pollution, and you can essentially build huge amounts of improvements essentailly for free with enough idle Workers.

Not to mention that the AI isn't smart enough to manage it's land the way humans can. Once it chops down a Forest, it will rarely replants. On Grassland, it will never plant a Forest.

RR only enhance the shield/food of mines/farms improvements. They do not affect forests.

They do if you add a mining bonus to them.

And I would guess that if you moded some terraign improvement to add both food & shields that railroading such terraign would cause both to benifit further.
