does anyone have any help on this problem :
i was playing the morganites in an ip game against a friend.
now , you know that to popboom , the morganites need golden ages , since
they cannot use planned. so i built my creeches ( and hab-complexes ) , set
psycho to 20% . i already was in democracy
i had plenty of bases with size three and all 3 inhabitants talents , and
enough food. and during the message phase between turns , before the
synchronizing , all these bases boomed to size 4 . it was also shown on the
map,
however , when the first player actually started moving ( after the
synchronizing ) all were back to size 3
they didn't starve or anything , they just went back to size three
the same thing happened in another game where i was playing the peacekeepers
, just that i didn't care too much then , but now , with the morganites , i
can't boom at all because of this
oh , and off course, it doesn't happen when booming with creeches , demo ,
planned , this works just fine . it only happens when trying to boom via
golden ages
the game is alien crossfire , with the 2.0 patch . is this common ? is their a way around it ? or can't i ever play morganites in ip-games now ?

IP games have a ton of weird bugs and annoyances. Fungal and Techtonic missiles don't work (they hit the top of the map always), you can sell the computer tech and it will keep buying until its energy reserves are well into the negative, can't shut off auto prototyping, can't cede bases to the AI, the list goes on and on.
In a recent game I had all my cities keep the exact same build instructions and progress as last turn (like the turn didn't advance). No cities got any more minerals but one city that had just completed a supply crawler completed the same supply crawler again and I had 2. I know it was a bug because the city didn't have near the minerals needed to build a crawler in 1 turn.
Suprisingly I have never had trouble pop booming, golden ages or no. As far as I know, this works fine. Still it comes as no shock that there is a possible IP bug associated with it.
My advice is just to try it again, maybe next time it'll work. I can't really think of any other way to do it.

hi mose. ( iguess ? ) recht gut
after that very satisfying but also very time-consuming pbem i decided i'd rather waste my time with ip-games now , which is less fun in a way but also much more simple

AFAIK, infinite drop bug still works. Instant demon boil still works, too.
Get this, I was playing IP yesterday and when I took over a Peacekeeper (AI) city, my friends screen (he was the Univ.) zoomed to the PK base. He was able to control it like it was his own.
I also frequently see units' ID's get mixed up in IP games. I'll highlight my former and the picture on the bottom right (that little info window) will say it's someone elses scout patrol. I've seen it say that my enemy was producing only fusion sea colony pods in all his bases, only to find out (to my dismay) that they were in fact all X-fusion choppers. It would be cool if you could screw with infiltration data this way on purpose.
SMAX a little buggy? Hehe...

no , wasn't classic mode
i am not sure if the other player has the 2.0 patch installled as well , however , when i asked the question at another place , someone reliable told me that , should the versions differ , we wouldn't have been able to get on the same server , so i didn't ask the other player yet . guess i will
yeah it's true there is a number of weird bugs in smac/x especially in multiplayer , and again more so in ip-games . units just disappear sometimes , and several times it happened to me that when i built a new base , the game would synchronize , and afterwards i would have 2 new bases , the second in a random spot , sometimes even right next to another ( where you normally can't build them ) . it's very seldom though and i never
i have also had the zooming into an enemy base thing before
however this popboom bug is the worst up to now =(
it makes some factions unplayable
