Confused: Red shields
Playing a little bit with the city screen I got a red shield putting a worker on a glacier. What does this mean?

It's an automatic red face in your city - similar to a unit being out of the city in Demo - since glacier has no production of any sort a worker forced to sit on a glacier is unhappy

Yes, I never quite got the point of the red shields. I mean, is that just a subtle hint that instead of working the tile, we should move the worker somewhere else or create a specialist?

I can see not getting any production from a glacier - but punishing you for that seems kind of unnecessary. Plus, if I'm WLTPDing, I have to keep coming back to that city and removing the worker each turn

Any SG player who has been sent to The Institute and makes the same mistake again should be sent to The Glacier

It isn't really a shield, it is a Tragedy Mask, you know, from the two masks used to symbolize the Thespian Arts.
