It was a few years since I played the game, but I can't remember ever having this problem..

How do I remove forest? I tried building a bulldozer, but I can't move it onto a forest square and clicking remove only gets me a message saying "Unable to clear at present location"-

Tried shooting at the square with a missile turret, hoping it might turn it into rubble that I could then clear :)

So, I´m out of ideas.. Anyone know?

This is an interesting query.
I don't believe that the player ever had the ability to remove obstacles such as forest trees with the bulldozer in the original M.A.X. I know that the bulldozer in the original can only clear destroyed shrapnel.
I know for certain that the bulldozer in M.A.X.2 can remove forest trees.

Maybe that is the case. I just never remember having this problem playing MAX.. Although I probably played more MAX2 back in the days.

Gotta love the logic of having a whole army and not being able to remove a tree :)

Thanks for the answer though :)

The general idea in the original M.A.X. is that blocking is an essential part of the game especially against the A.I.
Planets with maps that are littered with prefabricated obstacles such as forests account for the strategic and tactical possibilities which is why human players are allowed to build defensive blocks and the A.I. doesn't build defensive blocks.

The strategic and tactical possibilities expanded considerably in M.A.X.2 when the bulldozer adapted the ability to remove forests.
