I've been playing SMAC/X for some years now, and as many people recently pointed out on many other threads, new things still happen after all this time in this game.
In my current game at transcend level (random large map) I'm playing as Data Angels, I built for myself a nice empire on a northern continent, and a much larger southwestern one was shared by a bunch of other factions. Naturally they were at war with each other, and soon Miriam destroyed the Drones faction. Some time later, she got in trouble with the Hive (big mistake
) and was losing bases real fast.
Then I had this idea of freeing Domai before Miriam gets trounced, but she lost her capital before I could do that and a few turns later got eradicated by the Hive (which by then was the most powerful faction in the game).
A while later, Yang decided to attack me, and during the course of the war I somehow managed to reach his faraway capital by my foil probes and freed Miriam from her torture chamber (Free Miriam? I dont know why I did that, I guess I was just pissed at Yang
). At this point I was suddenly curious, as to what happens now to Domai, I mean, in whose torture chamber he is now. Well, guess what, Miriam didnt forget to take him with her on her way out of Yang's torture chamber and the next probe foil I sent to her new capital found him there, in HER torture chamber Now, that's some hatred 
Naturally, I couldn't help but free Domai from her clutches just for the novelty of "freeing a captured leader from a recently freed faction leader"
Wow now this was something, I mean, how does this work out, isn't Domai supposed to be in the hands of chairman Yang? I don't know if something like that happened to you guys but I just wanted to share my amazement anyway about this whole thing
I just love this game

But maybe even he has a softspot (no he hasn't), or some other sick motive 
I'm sometimes so, ummm, what was the word, ah yes, considerate 
. I really love this discovery. Honestly, trying to think in the ways a game programmer would do, it is natural do have it that way. But comparing to real life ...
