I'm the gun end of a war by proxy. Morgan and the University keep donating units for me to take the war to Miriam. Land units
come just fine, but I really could use some more air cover. Both of my pact brothers have donated sizable air to me, but .... well...I get the message and see an air unit, but it isn't over a city and when my turn comes the plane is gone.
If ally donating plane then put plane into city.
I've also seen the "urgent message" bug. Multiple screens of "you've and urgent message from XXXX" only to end up with no contact at all.
fine game.

I really don't know what to call this other than a bug. I'm attacking a believer city.
My scraggly band of gaians consist of a few
arty units, a couple of mindworms, a rover, an infantry unit and some air cover. Almost all this stuff is Green or very green and is straggling piecemeal towards a believer city. At first look I counted 20, thats right 20, believer air units in the city!
That city has flown NOT A SINGLE SORTE against my force. Over time I've reduced the city to 7 units. Give me control over that city and I could dismantle my pitiful little band in a turn. The CP just sits there ...
To the north the same CP is using Air units to hold me at bay. For 20 air units to sit grounded as arty and mindworms take them apart is odd.
I've also seen the Airdrop forever bug. I have not invested as much time as I would like into the manual and thought that was how para units acted.
