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. For a human faction to win a
diplomatic victory, both alien factions must be completely eliminated from
the game, regardless of their Pact status.

NOTE: Alien Crossfire now contains all the additions/enhancements and fixes
to Alpha Centauri 1.0 that were contained in the downloadable updates, V2.0
through 4.0.
