[0.92][Bug/Gameplay] Can't build Woodmill on Old Growth Forest, even with Tech.

from Elemental Forums

I read in the dev journal that all resources wouldn't require Techs, heres what Frogboy wrote: 

+ We no longer require technology pre-reqs to builds on resources (if you find one, it’s a bug and you should let us know)

Here is what I found:

I then went for the Wood Working tech and even after researching it (and passing a couple of turns just in case too) it won't let me build it.

Click on the actual resource itself. There should be a wooden hammer in the bottom left of the screen. Click on that. If its greyed out a tooltip should appear explaining why you can not build on the resource.

Greetings, if you look closely in the first screenshot you can see that the forest is selected (Red square around it) and then I hovered mouse over build and it says "Can't Build: Harvesting this Resource requires additional technology". The tooltip is also in the screenshot but I probably should've used Jing to highlight it, but I was feeling lazy :s.

I had this too.  Was using custom Sovereign with an Empire (Evil) Faction.  The same problem doesn't occur when using a (good) faction of Man.
