	Was this a bug or AI cheating? Put an end to popups!

I noticed 2 strange moves by the Egyptian AI recently. Are these bugs or cheats, or what?

healing

I have battlefield medicine but AI military are healing in the field.

interceptors/fighters

Jet fighter range is set to 6 tiles. I am bombing a city 8 tiles from nearest AI city and yet 1 Bomber gets shot down by interceptor.

Questions

1. Anyone else see these events?
2. If so, what is your interpretation?

thanks

For the first question: Battlefield medicine is a "small wonder" which means every civ can build one their own .


As for the second I don't have a clue. sorry.

planetfall,
Regarding the intercept: You aren't playing with any mod's, are you?
If you aren't, when strange things like this happens I would suggest that you save, quit, and restart the computer just in case it was a memory blip.

yep. battlefield meds can be build by anyone and everyone.

next, are there any AI carriers around? (can units on a carrier do Air Superiority, i didnt think so).

do stealth figs have a longer range?

do american figs have a longer range?

Maybe the city you are bombing has an interceptor based there?

Forgot BM is a small wonder. Love the simple mysteries of the game.

Intercept--do not have any mods, just 1.17 and editor changes. No AI carriers.
They didn't need a navy, they started on the big continent and I had to move
from island continents. My fighters are set with range 6 and bombers have
range of 8.

{My ideal would be 12 for bombers, 10 for fighters, and 8 max for navy.
Limit of 8 for air really slows down ship movement as I don't play with
ships being able to move as far as planes.}

Could be from city. I was assuming the motion of interceptor flight was
showing the launch city. That seems to be true for missions from other
cities, but may not be true from target city. I don't think it was from
the city because 1) the interceptor killed me, not me it. and 2) when
the city was captured I didn't see any diving fighter icon.


Speaking of Air Superiority, I have never seen one of my fighters destory
an AI bomber. Is there any graphic when they try, but miss? How can
I tell if Ais Superiority is being attempted? My only sign, is when I
get 2 jets on AS, the AI avoids those cities as targets.

I have had a few fighters shoot down enemy bombers from AS. The animation shows the bomber moving and the fighter coming in from one side, 90 degrees off sort of strafing. I have also infrequently seen my fighter get shot down by the bomber.
