The computer player has been building missiles and attacking one of my cities half way across a huge world all in the same turn. I'm following his missile production closely (did I forget to say they're Planet Busters) so I'm sure of it. Is there an actual way to do this in the game or is this a very big game-stopping bug? |

No. Yes. This is the same AI favoritism that a certain other game has (nukes from nowhere). Firaxis said that Brian forgot to put range checks in the AI missile (conventional and PB) code. So I think he's been working from legacy code. Hope he retained the rights. |

This is reportedly being fixed in the 3.0 patch. I can't wait; I'm really tired of Lal and his unlimited range missiles! |

Lal?! THAT warmonger, hmmm... It's Ghandi all over again. Build orbital defence pods. |
