== Strategy ==
Volcanic Soil is a very interesting addition to the game. It practically alters the quality of any nearby non-mountainous terrain so that it can be improved with both Farms and Mines. This doesn't seem like much until you realize the huge versatility it gives to tiles. Granted, Farms may be constructed on every flat tile (and later in the game also on Hills), but being able to build Mines on flat land will help improve a city's potential. Besides, if the Volcanic Soil happens to hit a "barren" sort of terrain such as Desert or Tundra, which normally cannot be improved, this terrain instantly turns into "normal" terrain with the added qualities of the special volcanic yields!
Because of the benefits of Volcanic Soil (and dangers caused by possible eruptions), you should cherish your tiles next to Volcanoes and refrain from placing s and wonders there. As the game progresses, these tiles will gradually become so rich in yields as to potentially eclipse any other type of tile, and you can always "flip" them to provide more or if you need it at the moment.
