	Can someone explain what happened to me? Browse Apolyton AD-FREE

Hey all,

Recently dusted off Alpha Centauri after acquiring the expansion pack and was playing along great as the Cyborgs (dan't remember the faction name off hand, sorry.)

I had been dumped on an island with no one else and enough room to get a few bases squeezed together, so that was my immediate goal. I used a pretty common tactic from the old days, nothing but forests and geting tree farms in all my bases. I was also able to get every secret project but Genome and Command Matrix.

And then, completly out of the blue, all of my 9 bases dissappeared with all their garrisons, all my formers vanished and I was given 3 colony pods, 3 sentinels and a former to "continue." I choose to quit instead, as losing nine bases and all my projects was simply to much to bear.

Why did this happen? I didn't get any message and it seems so specific of an event to just be a bug.

Any help appreciated.

Something cause you to be eliminated and restart. Most often this is by aciidently enter the keystroke to resign a game (shift Q) when the restart option is toggled on. I have seen 2 or 3 other instances of a bug casing this. IF you have eliminated another faction and captured its leader, and another faction tries a probe action to free the leader, it has in the 2 or 3 other instances I have heard somecause your the capturing rather than the captured faction to be "rescued"

This is why I don't play Iron Man. Jump to your last good autosave and resume.
