	help with air superiority mission -- bug? Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

I seem to be having trouble getting the air superiority mission to actually do anything. I assign the air superiority mission to figthers but apparently nothing happens. I never seem to see any enemy planes shot down or even attacked even if they are bombing the same square my fighters have been assigned for air superiority. Have read through both the manual and the strategy guide but haven't found an explanation....anybody else notice this or am I overlooking something? I believe it pretty much cost me the game I was playing because enemy planes could bombard my territory at will. thanks in advance

I have the exact same problem. I posted a thread in the "strategy" forum with the same issue. I thought I was just screwing it up, so I posted it in "strategy" instead of "help", but I guess it could be a bug. Anybody have any info on this?

If you are not having a problem with this please someone say so, and describe what happens when your fighter intercepts a bomber.

Yep, same problem here, I had two fighters assigned for air superiority in a city which was bombarded by about 10 bombers and I've seen none interceptions so far. (Many turns they've bombed my city). I've seen AI intercepting my WWII bombers with jet fighters couple of times though. But I think fighters are way too lousy to be any use. Maybe we change that with editor? Seems like a some sort of bug though.

I generally don't like to whine, but....

This makes me wonder what the reviewers were playing to not mention this bug in any of the reviews I have read. Maybe it is possible to get to the modern age without an air war and they didn't notice this, but I haven't been able to avoid that in both games I've played where I have lasted that long.

....I guess I wouldn't be complaining but for me this is a REALLY great game if not for this bug. Hope Firaxis fixes this quickly....

	Ditto... Increase Your PM Length

Same here. I have never been able to shoot down any bombers regardless of my fighter total. It's irritating as hell.

I was actually going to win my first game until this....

Soren, a developer from Firaxis, doesn't seem to have this problem.

I wonder what version he is using?

It's definitely a bug... Could we please get an ETA on the first patch? My motivation to play the game is drastically dropping because of bugs like this

Never really had the need of fighters... it seems to be alot about ground superiority for me... as odd as that sounds... they bomb and bombard the **** outta me and aslong as i have a ton of roads it doesn't do much. Other then that all they do is kill some citizens. If you send 20 rifflemen over there you can kill all there bombers well there on the ground. (Civ 3 doesn't have multiplayer??????????!??!??)

I'm starting to wonder if turning off debugging mode for the release broke the game in a few subtle ways...

That is what I am almost thinking. That, or they accidentally shipped out an obsolete build!

IamMillo, the lack of multi-player was announced at least month or so before the release of the game. It is expected that multiplayer will probably be released in a patch or expansion pack alter on.

German special unit is the Panzer

Its a tank

Modern Age
Rubber and Oil
Needs Motorized Transportation



One thing I know for sure is that Air Superiority is bugged. Many people have said so. It is a bug and it requires a patch.......fast

Question: I just got into my air war, and have seen the same problem of Air Superiority units apparently going AWOL permanently. Has anybody noticed anything different with *carrier* based fighters? Just curious (or wishful thinking?) whether that might work around the bug somehow.

In their rush to get this game shipped, they prolly screwed up and put the beta version on all our cds while their testing bugs with the release version, seems as though Soren is the ONLY person that air superiority works for.

Air Superiority doesn't work for me either
I do however remember (I think ) shooting down an AI fighter when it tried to intercept my jet fighter, but sadly, I'm actually not sure, I've played this game well into the night a few times

What's worse though, my game has been locking up when the AI intercepts me it always happened in this same game when I went to bomb a Zulu city their little fighter sprang out at me and everyhting stopped. The music still played and the animations were still playing but I couldn't do anything. Then I'd restart Civ and reload the autosaved game and the same would happen, so bad I stopped using aircraft in that game
