Precision Strike?
Am I doing something wrong, or does this thing just not work? Whenever I hit the precision strike button (with my stealth aircraft) the red range grid shows up. However, whenever I move the cursor over an enemy city, I get the circle-with-slash "you can't do that symbol". But when I put the cursor over one of my cities - the little bomb icon shows up. Is a precision strike only supposed to work on your own cities? Am I doing something wrong? Help.

Looks like a bug. I even have the embassy to investigate the city so that I will know what kind of city improvement had been built before I start precision bombing but of course it didn't work. It is simply because it's a bug.

most of the air units have bug. can't intercept enemy plane no matter you use editor to increase the chance of interception to 100% or whatever.

so forget about it until the patch is released.

I have also noticed this. The precision strike option only shows up when one of my cities is in range and not for any enemy city.

LOL!

Am I the only one who thinks it's hilarious that you can only precision strike your own cities?

Now that's funny...

precision strike is buggy right now, but if you hold down on the "P" key it appears to work, with the little unintended consequence of allowing the player to conduct a strike anywhere on the map

Crawly, slimy, eeky bugs... hate'em.

And, it's just me or anyone else had problems too trying to build a strat resource colony with a builder?

I tried all ways thinkable, it just plaily doesn't work! It doesn't even recognize "B" as a command for it!

Even more hateful, a few turns after I gave up building the colony, a computer worker goes there and make one, as if saying "see, you dolt, that's the way". :P
heh
