ALIEN CROSSFIRE VERSION 1.0 Undocumented Additions: *Sea Borders: coastal bases now extend borders into the sea for all squares adjacent to the base. Nearby water bases do not affect these borders. *Detonating a fungal missile may now trigger native life forms from dormant spores. The higher the reactor level, the greater the number of spores. *Fungal Towers receive a 50% bonus when attacked, due to their ability to co-ordinate and direct native life forms in the vicinity. *A Progenitor faction controlling the Manifold Nexus receives +1 Research in addition to +1 Planet. *The Manifold Usurpers have a -1 Planet due to their intent to subvert the Transcendence process. *The Cybernetic Consciousness may steal technology when capturing a base, regardless of the rules preference set at the beginning. *The Data Angels now get any technology discovered by three other factions with whom they have an infiltrator. *Any units adjacent to a mind controlled base fall under the control of the probe teams faction. *The Dissociative Wave now works on offense. *The manual states that an alien may be in a submission pact and not affect a diplomatic victory; this is not true.
