Woodsman

[Sligo]

I looked through and didn't see this idea. Basically, a woodsman is the same as a worker (non-combat, 3 turns to build). Can do the same stuff as a worker, but does not get the benefit of Ambidextrous. What this unit can do is clear a forest/wooded tile (turn it into its underlying terrain). This takes 6 turns to complete (or less, if more woodsmen put to the task). On the turn it is completed, the nearest TC gains a bonus - its current project is reduced by one turn.

The tactical benefit is this would allow moving heavy units (wagons, catapults, etc) through areas otherwise restricted because of forest terrain.

May be it should clear all types of terrain and objects. Such idea has been discussed earlier
