Flood!

[Leon Trotsky]

There, in this save you just have to skip a unit's turn to see a propserous base lose half its population to a Borehole.

Yikes! I don't think I've ever seen localized effects from boreholes (nor any terraforming other than raise/lower).

You can also get "endangered" for sea squares if the Planetary Council has voted to put in solar shades and the sea square will become a land square. There is no problem with a sea base becoming a land base, but all terraforming improvements on a sea square disappear (as you would expect).

Funny I've never seen that. Neither solar shades nor endangered sea squares...

solar shades can be launched by council sometime after space flight, I forget the exact tech, and I don't have the game in front of me, but I think its the one that gives plasma shard, living refinery and all that fun stuff

[Slaughtergaard]

Advanced Space Flight, if memory serves me right.

But I recommend that you increase your sollar shade at each ten years, or you better prepare youself to swin a little...

[Qwerty88]

you can launch solar shade and then increase it after ten years, but you'll have to wait another 20 after that because its the same proposal

I just "washed" one of my bases, mid-turn, that wasn't even on an endangered tile. I didn't build boreholes, and in fact I had been raising land in the region.

more odd game behaviors. I wonder are there as yet unknown bugs or is it an explainable game behavior. It sounds like a bug of some type

[Net Warrior]

When you raise/lower terrain and that results in a river changing course, that rivers new course can cause flash flooding, unit loss, and washing as well IIRC.

BTW, can someone post drones 2006 in zip format?

[Leon Trotsky]

This example is more straightforward: press "B" to lose a stack of formers. This one doesn't need Alien Crossfire (please don't look at the status of the bases, by that time I usually get bored and play terribly).

I'll d/l the save just to point and laugh.
