I like the way that the forest tiles conform to the big fat cross.

I think the capital placement algorithm will add forest tiles to blank flat tiles if it thinks that your start does not have enough resources. This is also a good tell -- if you have a blank grassland/plains tile surrounded by forest, there is a good chance that there's a hidden strategic resource there!

There's Forest Preserves around Alexandria. They just don't show up on the map all that easy.

I want to put Iron Works in a city with Iron or Coal, but I don't have coal.

I'll pass on picking up the game from there. Anyone else can if they want.

Unlike in Civ III, you don't need iron/coal in the BFC for a city to get full advantage of Ironworks. All that needs to happen is to have access to it through the trade network. And though ironworks is obviously worse with only +50% from iron, that's still larger than any other production boost in the game.

Isn't Catherine infamously the only AI who will declare war while at "friendly"? Or I am confusing the plot to declare war and surprise attack AI choices?
