Civilization – In Civ V, can I improve a resource that is surrounded on all 6 sides by mountains

civilization-5

There are some gems sitting in the middle of a mountain range, beset on all sides by what must be sheer cliffs. Are they forever out of reach or is there some tactic to sneak workers in?

Best Answer

You're out of luck. There's no way to get past the mountain range with workers.

EDIT

Actually, if legions upgraded to paratroopers, and if you use e.g. the balance mod, which connects resources if there's a fort, you could connect the resource. Alas, legions are not on the right upgrade path, so you're still screwed.
