    Yep, I've built city on jungles and forests before and they have become grasslands or plains (whichever relevent to the underlying tile). You can play them at this game, which I have done before...

      It really wouldn't have mattered too much if you had read the manual. The manual FAILS TO MENTION dozens upon dozens of things you just have to figure out while you're playing the game. Jeesh...Firaxis and Infogrames suck. I wish Blizzard would buy the rights to Civilization...they would do it right.

      No, you don't have to bow if you don't want to.

        nah, when you build on deserts or hills you also get 2-1-1 thingie, i abuse that often

          I'm sure somewhere in the manual it warns about building cities on Jungle squares, stating the city would be prone to disease, but thats a bit stupid if the underlying terrain is converted anyway !

          BTW I don't find clearing Jungles too difficult, just use lots of Workers !

          Oh and BTW = by the way.

            Contrary, middle of desert can be a great place for your cities assuming you have some flood plains squares nearby. flood plains balance out the lack of food production in desert squares. You would want to build the city on a desert square instead onf on flood plains tho for couple of reasons.
            For complete desert you can build decent cties but much later when you got railroad. Roadroaded, irrigrated desert squares give you 2 food, 1 shield, one commerce not bad! possible to have size 20 city on complete desert area with the right technology!
