I was thinking about the sub bug and I may have come up with a clever way to work around it.
Let's create a dummy unit. The dummy unit should cost 1 shield. It should be tagged as a sea unit. It should be tagged as a "tactical missile". It should have no bombard or attack/defense. The idea is that the dummy unit could be loaded onto subs and let you make your sub visible or invisible at will. So if you want to make it visible you can just unload the dummy unit and let it sit stacked with the sub for the AI's turns. If you want it invisible you can just load the dummy unit back into the sub.
The idea is that if you run into the sub bug you could reload to the end of the previous turn and make your sub visible.
So, do you think this idea would work? Or is there some problem? I wonder if a sea unit can be loaded into another sea unit, for example. I also don't know for sure if a loaded tactical missile remains invisible when inside a sub or if the presence of a tactical missile allows the AIs to see the subs, as in CivII. If so, this would make my workaround impractical.
