Well, almost.

I just put together a PBEM game for MichaeltheGreat, et al.(Prince of Centauri) and there was a weird "expanding" fungus problem that I have never seen before. When I was accelerating the game, sometimes when I moved a scout unit I would see a new square and then all of a sudden fungus would appear in the square!

What was really strange was that when I did the very first move for one of the factions, fungus appeared underneath the initial base for that faction! (Thus the "building a base on fungus").

This may have had something to do with a bug that I believe I encountered when I saved the scenario before accelerating. The S.E. acted like I selected the re-do fungus option instead of saving and popped up a couple of dialogs about fungus, and then it popped up the save dialog.

Some of these SMAC bugs are pretty darn funky.

Oh, and did I mention that SMAC is full of bugs and you should not buy it!!!!

SMAC n ... Ted S.

(The last sentence above was a joke. And therefore was not meant seriously. Well, there are a lot of bugs, some big, most little, but none should detract from your compweet enjoyment of da game)
