immediately get fungisidal tanks as per bug#0085 Free_Ability, EXCEPT formers
and other base units (ie. scout patrol, crawler, probe team, colony pod,
etc.) or at least they are not listed or identified as having it. Going into
the Design Workshop, fungisidal tanks is NOT an option am I to assume they
have it but are not identified as having it?
Look at the formers and military units in the save.

Description: When I play multiplayer I notice that every once in a while units transform into other units.
I had a missle foil turn into a sea former in the middle of a battle. I've
also had impact batteries turn into impact foils and those foils then turn into scout rovers. I
have a saved game that this stuff happened in.

Bblue: it appears it is not just a multiplayer bug as this save is
from a single player game. About the save: 2 file a before and after; before is Viinculum transport;
after is ViinculumIIrover, but it re-occurs everytime the turn is played
through.

In Vinculum: my trance fusion transport transforms into a Caretaker (who I am
at Vendetta with) empath missle speeder inbetween turns. By investigating
this bug further, if you disband the fusion transport, then on the next turn
a EMCTrance 3-Res Sentinal in Lucky Autum transforms into a Caretaker empath
missle speeder.

actually all out fight like they should. I find myself always trying to incite one to kill the
other and it won't. The aliens do not hate each other at all.

DarkShade: The Aliens, I read in the manual, aren't even supposed to deign to
speak to those who are allied with the opposing alien faction. While I can understand the
aliens contacting other humans to turn them against their opposing aliens, in the game I
have going right now it's a bit worse then that.
The aliens formed a series of pacts with the remaining human factions and then truced
themselves. The aliens haven't been fighting anyone but the humans for the past century
of game time or so. The civil war is pretty much nonexistent.

Darkstar: I confirm Aliens factions Trucing.

When AI controls both Alien factions, they can enter into state of "Truce". This can't be
done when a Human Player is an Alien.

Save game by Fistleaf demonstrates Usurpers and Caretakers in a state of truce.
This save was made after v2 patch was applied.

Description: Computer boats cheat. Even if you have a ship well out of range of the sight of the computer, the
moment you are close enough so that the computer can move to attack you it will, even
though it shouldn't know you are there at all. It's basically like the AI boats have a seeing
radius of 4 to 8 squares. This isn't a huge deal and it actually kind of helps the otherwise
stupid AI, but sometimes it's kind of annoying.
The AI also knows location of units in fungus and units with
cloacking or deep pressure hull abilities.

Note by Aredhran: This does not only apply to boats, but to all units.

Description: I play with the
option where you get told the odds before each battle. In SMAC, the odds seems pretty
accurate. I won about half os the battles where I was told the odds were even, and I could
count on winning most of the battles when the odds where mildly in my favor (4:3, or
similar).

With SMACX, the odds seem way off. I lose almost every time if the odds are even, and
when the odds are close, I still lose most of the time. I haven't kept statistics on this, and
I realise that we often remember the losses and not the wins in cases like this, but I'm
pretty sure the odds are way off now. If I see that I'm favored 32:25, it's very likely I'll still
lose now.

Has something changed with how the odds are calculated, or with how the battles are
fought?

If need be, I can get a game to the point where I'm about to fight a battle where the odds
are in my favor and save it, then play it out 10 or 20 times to confirm it.

BustaMike: I noticed that also. If a unit is engaged in psi combat the odds are not calculated properly.
It said my green chaos rover had 4 to 1 odds to beat a demon boil. This is ridiculous and
when the actual battle ensued my rover was crushed. I think it uses attack strenght
instead of psi and moral strength like it should.

Civ-wrecked: I observed the same thing as khearn. The odds seems to be fairly accurate with planes
though but it's way off with ground troops. I probably get 50/50 chance only when the
odds says I have 3 to 2 chance of winning. I've been wondering if the transcend level has
some kind of bonuses for the AI factions which the odds does not take into account ?

Reloading and repeating the same attack doesn't seem to change the outcome in a pure
random fashion either. To experiment, I kept trying to attack the same unit with a 50/50
chance of winning and I lost over 20 times straight. The pure probability for such event to
happen is less than one in a million. Even if I had merely 25% of winning each time then
the odds of losing 20 battles straight would be around 3 in 1000.

For PSI attack, I think it is a known bug that the odds takes into account the reactor type
while the actual battle outcome does not. It would be vastly unfair for the poor worms if it
does. Before the reactors mess up the odds for PSI, it seems reasonably accurate though.

Jasonian: I've noticed something about the numbers on the "confirm odds" screen. When attacking
native life, it assumes that native life has a fission reactor, and your unit has the one it does.
So, if the morale levels are the same, and you attack with a fusing unit, you should have about
3:1 odds of victory. (3:2 Offense: Defense * 2:1 Your reactor: enemy reactor)

This is obviously not true. When calculating the odds, the game 'forgets' that all PSI combat
is based on a 10 HP scale, so all those fancy reactors don't help you. Yet, it says you have 20
HP with fusion, so the odds SHOULD be twice what they are. Somewhere, something was
left out.

Description: I mind-controlled a bunch of impact rovers the
Hive sent my way. After I collected half a dozens of them I tried to send them back to the
Hive territory to say hello. After crossing into the Hive territory, all, except one, of them
disappeared at the end of my turn. I could repeat the bug several times with the auto1 file.
I had to save these rovers from vaporating by going back to my territory and abandoning
the attack. That really sucks since I have a bunch of rovers eating my minerals and I could
not find any use for them. Maybe I still have the save file around if Tim doesn't know
about this bug already.

Description: There seems to be a bug in artillery in SMACX in general, not just the spore
launcher. All of my artillery are absolutely inefective when trying to inflict damage on
non-artillery troops. I used to produce artillery in SMAC but don't produce them any
more in SMACX since they're useless. The AI's artillery cause the same damage to my
troops, just like in SMAC, though so it's really unfair.

Kinjiru: looks to be fixed in v2 SMAX. Don't have a save, but I could make one tonight if there is a
need.

Description: AI Needlejet units do not run out of fuel. I once surrounded a stack of Spartan
needlejets with my own, expecting them to crash at the end of the turn. However, they
remained airborne and undamaged. This is not a huge problem, as they will return to base
if they can, but I still think the rules should apply.

Bblue: The before save shows Miram's plane in flight east of The Word of God, the
after shows the same planes still in flight, not crashed, the turn after this
they fly toward home

Note: What seems to trigger this is when the AI planes can't reach the
'target' they were assigned to goto; as in a base in Tau Ceti's example. In
my Saves a 'flight' of 8(?) planes attempt to attack a former, a intercepter
flys out over the the former and beats the first attacking plane, the
remainder of the 'flight' moves next to the terraformer and the newly
repositioned intercepter and stop (they can't attack the former due to thier
being an air unit on top of it) The following turn they seem to still have
full movement and fly on to attack other things (in this case my crawlers
which were well out of range of thier original base!)

Mistweave: In my first SMACXv2 game, I had a large continent to myself, and I had built a ton of conventional
missiles for defense, all placed on alert to nail any incoming transports. Early in one turn, a
pod-popping rover on a nearby island uncovered two worms, but I 'W' waited the rover 'till later.
Later in the turn, two missiles in an inland base (just barely in range of the worms) activate, swoop
over, and run into a coastal base. This ends their moves (bug #151), even though they both had
enough moves left to hit the worm.

I intended to send the two missiles home again, but forgot to do so. In the meantime, the rover kills
one of the worms, and its turn ends. In the enemy-move phase, the remaining worm eats the rover.

In my next turn, missile #1 wakes up, screams over and nails the worm. Then, missile #2 wakes up,
screams over, and has no target. Even though it has expended most of its moves (it had 5-6 out of
20), it turns around and heads back for home. At the end of the turn, it is still 10 squares from any
base, out of fuel, but doesn't crash (bug #11). Next turn, it arrives at the coastal base & stops (bug
#151 again), then returns to its original home the next turn.

Description: I am playing first game of xfire on huge map. When my city attacked by air unit and my
unit rises to defend, the computer crashes with "Terranx page fault". If i delete the
defending air units the game will continue OK but crashed again after i rebuilt defenders. I
was most disturbed to spend 12 hrs playing a game that is now useless. (I never had
crashes on AC). Any fixes due on the Terranx crash problem?
PS I have saved game if someone wants to look at it.

Note by Aredhran: Check more details at http://apolyton.net/forums/Forum15/HTML/000108.html
Confirmed by Ned that the bug still occurs with the AX V2 patch

Note by Zsozso: This bug might be another manifestaton of BugID: #0099, ICD_crash

Description: I feel kind of embarrassed mentioning such a minor bug after people talk about game
crashes, but it is a bug so I'll mention it. In two games as the Data Angels and with a
Green Economy, every time I conquer one of the Caretakers' bases, they declare
Vendetta on me, the Vendetta message being an objection to my Green economy. But
they already ARE at Vendetta with me. Also, the very first time I conquered a Caretaker
base, H'minee called me up and we arranged a Truce, but when I exited from the base
screen she declared Vendetta on me again. I also noticed that my reputation dropped to
Scrupulous, apparently because of this. I certainly had not done anything up to that point
that could reduce my reputation.

Description: had the problem in alphax.txt that there are set at socials (research) -5 to +5 only but
Cyborgs have +6 or +7 and that doesn't count. So in fact their research isn't faster than
the research of other factions, e.g. Angels having +5

Description: I just bought the UK version of SMACX this week, and started a game with the Data
Angels. The caretakers started to kick butt, killing off the cyborgs pretty early. However,
ever with the best army on the planet they could not finish off the drones. At first I thought
that the drones were just pumping out defensive units like mad, but when I got a pact with
them and was able to look inside the base, it was full of caretaker troops!!! Even thought
they were still at war. Later I looked in on that one base again to see that it was full of
Pirates even thought I had all but destroyed that faction!!

To find out what was going on I turned on the scenario editor and created 10 mark III
battle ogres to capture the base only to find that every time I killed off the troops inside a
new bunch would appear!!!! Each time I destroyed a group, a new group would appear
belonging to another faction until it was my only Data Angels appearing!!! These to had to
be killed and still more troops appeared.

BugID: #0029, Instant_Demon_Boil

Description: The instant demon boil bug. Whenever a
native lifeform unit is given a patrol route with several way points, the unit instantly
becomes a demon boil with the patrol route now pointing offscreen somewhere. This
works all the old units and at least the spore launchers.
This bug is a carryover from SMAC.
Note by Aredhran: The patrol must have the maximum number of waypoints (can't remember if it's 3 or 4)
Note by Zsozso: The bug occurs with Isle of Deep and Sea Lurker units too.
The bug has been fixed by patch v2.
