Starting a game under regular SMAC and then using an altered alpha.txt like the one provided by TurboSMAC will have odd unpredictable effects. You need to restore the original alpha.txt.
1. Rename alpha.txt to alphaturbo.txt. (Right click on alpha.txt and select "rename").
2. Rename alphaoriginal.txt to alpha.txt.

And the Lord God said, 'Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language, and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech'.
