During an aircraft's second turn out, the fuel reads 10/20. It should read 10/10! I lost a perfectly good Hive bombing aircraft because of this!!! |

I may be utterly wrong here, but I thought you had to return all Aircraft to a friendly base or airport on its next turn (after attacking) regardless of remaining fuel. Copters are of course exempt from this. |

Actually, the second number is the maximum fuel capacity, the first the actual. The maximum doesn't change, the actual does. jkm firaxis games |

That makes sense. Don't know why I didn't see it that way before. Thanks Jeffery! |

mike100... if you played civilization, or civilization II, that little "bug" was present there, too. |

Actually, I have played Civ I&II for years and if you notice, on the second turn a bomber is out, the fuel/moves indicator starts at 8/8 and both numbers decrease as you move. That's why I was confused! |

mike100, Don't send all your bombers to Hive cities, save a few for the Gaians! |
