[Earl Grey]

For the first time in over three years I finished a game of SMAC (Transcend/Dilithium Dad's Huge map of planet) yesterday and found an odd listing in the final score - "Objectives Achieved". Here's a screenshot:

Why does it give so many points even though no "objectives" were achieved?

it seems to do this when playing custom maps. I get this with the earth map.

good score btw. of course I never play iron man. I really should. Though my game did crash once last game. It seems a little unstable when there are many, many units around. But I was also running emule and a musicplayer in the background.

I've seem the game represent a victory bonus as "0 objectives achieved" before. Note that your victory bonus is otherwise absent.
