Situation A - Specialize:
Lumber/Iron: 100(base production)*230% (10 lvl10 valley) = 230
Total production for 1 city : Either 230 lumber or 230 iron /hr
Therefore, total production for 2 city : 230 lumber + 230 iron /hr

Situation B - Spreading out:
Lumber/Iron: 50*230% (10 lvl10 valley) = 115
As such, production of iron(lumber) for the city with pure forest(hill) = 50
Total production for 1 city = 115 lumber, 50 iron or 115 iron, 50 lumber
Therefore, total production for 2 city : 165 lumber + 165 iron /hr

230>165.
