Description: Also it would be nice to be able to specifically choose what tech you want to give a
computer opponent instead of having to choose between only 2. In one game i played the
drones were being crushed by the caretakers. I wanted to help the drones by giving them
a desperately needed attack tech, but all they asked for was some useless build and i
couldn't help them.

y". For plural factions, it should say "the Pirates *have* lost a base

Save after:
Description: Spore Launcher Bug: I hit a Unity pod with a scout and three spore
launchers appeared. Much to my amazement, they promptly blew away EACH OTHER.
Later, a similar thing happened: a spore launcher was shelling base improvements.
Another spore launcher, also flagged red, came along and fired on it.

Note by Aredhran: I don't think this is a bug.

Save after:
Description: When playing as a human faction (it has happened
with the Cyborgs, Pirates and Cult) I used a ton of Nerve Gas against the Aliens. My
reputation is Wicked even though I've treated the other humans well and now they all
have vendetta on me. Is this right? Should atrocities against the Aliens count negatively
towards my reputation?

BugID: #0022, AI_Defender_Retool
Submitter: NukedOut, (e-mail not available)
Version: Both AX and AC4
Category: AI
Status: N/A
Priority: 5
Save before: N/A (not available)
Save after:
Description: When I see the pc
building planet busters,(having infiltrators helps) I let the pc build away and when it is
nearing completion, I attack the city with air or conv. missiles. One only has to destroy the
garrisons, and the pc will reassign all production to building a garrision. It does not matter
that there is no way I can get a ground unit to the city to capture it, the pc reassigns the
production to make a very costly garrision unit. It would be better if the pc continued to
build the planetbuster and simply redeployed other garrisions to the city.

Description: Hotseat bug:
If you encounter progenitor race before the advance of the required techs to allow
communication, you can still talk.

Note by Aredhran: It would be interesting to see if this problem still happens with the alpha.txt flag
that prevents humans from talking to each other in MP games without in-game contact

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

Save after:
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

BugID: #0028, Invincible_Base

Category: Combat
Status: Pending
Priority: 3
Save before: N/A (not available)
Save after:
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
Submitter: Urban Ranger, decipher@hknet.com
Version: Both AX and AC4
Category: Movement
Status: Fixed
Priority: 3
Save before: N/A
Save after: N/A
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.
