AI cheating at probe defense

In my mod, Power gives +1 PROBE.  The only other thing that affects it is Thought Control, which gives +2 PROBE.  Lal doesn't have any inherent faction bonus for PROBE.

cannot subvert liberated base

Previously I mind controlled this base.  Lal had a lot of units in the area, hiding in the fungus.  A few turns later, he liberated it by military force.  Now when I try to mind control it again, I can't!

I'm playing on Transcend.  At that level of difficulty, is there some kind of hidden extra immunity I've never run into before?

Is there some rule that you can't take a liberated base for X number of turns?  Or that you can't mind control a base "yet again" for X number of turns?  In either case, the message is wrong.

I had the same thing happen to a 2nd base.  I mind controlled it, then it was liberated by military force, now I can't mind control it again.

By creating a planetary network, mankind on Planet now has the ability to share information at light-speed. But by creating a single such network, each faction has brought themselves closer to discovery as well. At the speed of light, we will catch your information, tag it like an animal in the wild, and release it unharmed-if such should serve our purposes.
