Editor bug

I'm trying to cplit the worker into 2 units, one to work, and to join cities. however, as soon as I remove either "join city" or "build colony", the terraform button goes gray. At first I ignored it but after playing a game, I realized that the AI didnt build a single tile improvement. It seems like the terraform button is coded backwards. This would be really useful to me because i'd like some units to build forts and roads also, but whats the point if the AI wont use those units that way.

It's not a bug, it was programmed that was intentionally. Search the editor help file, there's a page there that lists the actions that need to be checked to enable a given AI strategy.

Didnt know about that. Thanks. Out of curiosity, why are city functions classified as terraforming? is it possible to have a unit that can only build but not increase population?
