While playing a game of Civ 5 as the Iroquois, I noticed my automated workers were sometimes clearing a forest. Since the Iroquois get special benefits from forest squares (like the Longhouse), this struck me as counterproductive.
Are automated workers smart enough to maintain forests when playing as Iroquois?
If you connect to Steam and play the game, it will automatically patch up to the latest version. The only way you could be playing an old version is if you're playing in offline mode. The version number should be listed on the main menu screen that comes up after the opening movie:
The current version at this time is 1.0.1.217. You should be able to see the latest version at any time by going to this thread on the official forums.
Yes, automated workers will also build roads, and when they become available, railroads.
Best Answer
There is a setting in the game options called "automated workers remove features". You can turn it off and they will never remove forests.
