sorry, a few dumb quesions

[Vongly]

I just haven't had the time to check out all the threads to get answers to my quesions. Any help would be appreciated.

1) Am I wrong or do workers never gain the ability to change let's say a desert into a grassland?

2) Why do forest squares with railroads not again a 50% boost in shields. I think they give 2 shields as is and don't get 3 when I put a railroad on it.

3) Is this just wrong info? It says under the marine description that I need oil and rubber in the strategic resources box to make a marine, but I only really need rubber.

Thanks much,

Andrew

1) nope you cannot transform terrain

2) I believe railroad only increases food production in irrigated squares and shield production in squares with mines on them. so I guess no forest bonus

3) not sure, description might be wrong. check the patch fixes.
