I have just started playing Civ 5 and I'm confused regarding the tiles.
When you built a city you get an amount of tiles around it, and when your population increases you get to assign a citizen to work in each tile. When you get workers you can build on the tiles, however when i try to build on a tile that is being worked on i get a notification that the profit is going to be modified or something like that……
What does this mean?. If i for example modify a tile that is being worked on and build a Plantation does it mean that the profit out of it will low?.

What this means is simply what it says, when you build on a tile, the benefits you get from working it may change.
Different improvements give different rewards, as do different "raw tiles".
Sometimes, building an improvement on a tile may have a negative impact on some output (production, gold, culture, religion). An example is building a Plantation on Bananas, which will provide -1 Production along with the +2 Gold, or entirely swap one output with another.
The alert you get is merely to make sure you're aware that there's a possibility things will change and not necessarily in the way that's best for your glorious Empire.
