If I force them to do something, and them put them on automation, they go running back to the city and twiddle their thumbs.
I've restarted the game twice. Am I doing something wrong?

Yeah, unfortunately some of the AI seems to be a little... broken (for lack of a better term) when it comes to automation and path-finding.
A good example: I wanted to have one of my units go from the north end of a long, skinny continent to the south end. I clicked for him to move and many, many turn later, he appears in the middle of an ocean far, far away. I was confused.
I havan't bothered to have my workers on automated duties. They will tend to build trading posts where you want farms and vice versa. They may also chop down forests, jungles, etc.
It's a bit micro-managey, but I would recommend giving orders manually to your workers. When there's nothing to do, I just make them sleep until I need them for something.
