Author Topic:   Bug Caught - AI Raising Land without Tech

Hello.
I have caught a computer AI raising land out of the sea when it does not have the tech to do so. My faction has the Weather Project. I have the autosaves from 1 to 5 zipped. If any member of Firaxis would like it, contact me and I will send you the zip.
Thank you.

Jeff - I'll send the zip when I get home from work.
CousLee - It was luck. I was invading the Believers with an irritant force and was in the right place to see one of her formers yanking land out of the sea. Knowing how bad the lass is at tech and it being so early (I didn't have the tech to do so), I saved the game and activated the Scenario Editor to confirm my suspicions. When I saw she didn't have a level three tech at all, I decided to save all the Autos 1 through 5. Just in case.

That's nothing I sent jeff a save file that has formers putting sensor arrays and bunkers in the sea! Also putting bunkers on land before the tech is known.
Also I have noticed that raising land if done by the pc doesnt cost anything. But if you manually do it cost credits! this is a major bug i think.

I've never run into things like building stuff
in the sea; But I HAVE seen AIs building
improvements in places like the center of
a volcano.
One possibility that occurs to me re the sea sensors, is what if they are building them on land, then lowering the land?
I've seen something similar happen with
monoliths...

Hmm, I've never seen an improvement in the sea...and the only time I've ever seen a sea monolith is after I used a planet buster on the area.
