Settling on Tundra

I just tried to build a city on forrest on tundra. I was unable to
settle there so I moved to better ground. However, England just went
behind me and settled on that very spot.

What's up?

Is the forest still there? RAR won't let you settle in a forest.
Or maybe a certain tech is required to settle in a forest.

The forrest won't be there when the city is set, but I started the
game over. I was able to settle this time. You may be right about
the tech as I went a different tech route this game. Didn't help me
win tho. Four countries attacked while my pants were down. I went
from 20 to 3 cities and had 5 enemies in just a few turns.

next!

What type of colonist did you use? The Hardy Colonist is more
flexible at settling. I thought it was just where it could travel but
maybe it is also where you can settle.
