Description: In a game one of the aliens called me up and told me that she had just prototyped a
1-2-1 unit so I'd better behave or ...
Why the heck are the aliens prototyping 1-2-1 units? They start the game with the ability
to build 1-3r-1 defensives. I suppose that there is that possibility that she was just bluffing
but it would be a bluff that wouldn't make any sense. Didn't have infiltrator status to
check. I suspect that this is a problem alluded to earlier about the game offering you the option to
build obsolete units. It may be that the AI takes the most recent discovery as the best
rather than checking to see if it really is. This would also explain why the game will often
offer me the option of building 3 reactor units when I have discovered 4 reactor units first.

Kinjiru: I have seen both of these and they are still present in v2 of SMAX.
Additionally, if you have autodesign on, you will get new unit prototypes for obsolete unit
types if you first discover a better tech. I.e. you get missles before gatling. Once you discover
gatling, you will see new units designed with it even though missiles are better.

Description: If you play a game in SMACX with mixed factions (SMAC + SMACX) you have
two bad choices:
a) you get the pictures and buildings of that SMACX faction that stands in the ini file at the
position of the SMAC faction (eg the 4th position is Angels, if you play with peacekeepers instead
angels you get the pictures of angels)
b) If you'd like to see the SMAC faction's pictures and change the ini so that now (eg)
instead ANGELS there is on place 4 PEACE, you will get the right pictures, HOWEVER
as the background of the building pictures is wrong you see all peacekeepers buildings on
the map with their background color overlapping the map. Furthermore, you can't read
the chart bar and the text in commlink.
If you rename the pcx, it isn't a solution, as you then still have the text problem and the
background problem for the buildings.
I found a solution / workaround. See complete description and file for it at

Description: I took over a Spartan base of size 1, at the end of the turn Morgan flew out 15
needlejets into the base and gifted them to me. I knew that most would get disbanded
since gifting units makes them rehome to the nearest base and a size 1 base would not
minerals to support those 15 units. I was right and when my next turn started 7 of the jets
were disbanded. Okay, so I go try to upgrade that entire class of unit through the
workshop. And it tells that to upgrade these 8-1-12 jets to my own version of
10-1-12-Clean will cost 48,900 credits. I am shocked, so I look more closely and it
thinks I have 248 of these 8-1-12 units around!

So I am thinking that 255 is the max number of any kind of unit. (Since 255 - 7 = 248). So
does the engine somehow lose count if you had a unit type, then retired it, but are later
gifted that same kind of unit?

me two more rovers, but they are now 13-8r-4!! How did Morgan get this tech? I don't
think he did because his other chassis were still at the 10-4 level. Seems that my upgrade
somehow got applied to the same chassis type automatically going forward...

Description: Transports incorrectly count as combat units for determining whether all
non-combat units are lost with final combat defender at a base.
Example: Set-up: a base with one combat unit (say a garrison unit of any tech), a
transport, a colony pod, and a probe team. Base is attacked and defender is wiped out.
Transport being in base protects colony pod and probe team from being eliminated. Trying
same setup without the transport, and when defender dies, so do the colony pod and probe
team.

Possible Correction: Check to see if transport is non-combat (no armor) and if so, it is
eliminated when last combat defender in stack is lost, in or out of bases.
