Hi, I'm new to SMAC/SMAX and I'm confused about a situation where some tiles are generating different resources than I expected given what I read in the manual.
Please see the attached screen captures highlighting such a tile.
Screen capture 1: The tile has It has Rolling, Moist, Mesa, Farm, Mine, Road, from which I expect 2 food. However:
Screen capture 2: When I click on the Tile Info pane, which switches to its alternate view showing the tile resources, I see only 1 food.
Screen capture 3: From the nearby Base view I can confirm the tile only provides 1 food.
Probably I am missing something about the game rules but I can't figure out what it is. Anyone have any ideas? I thought maybe the "Mesa" property but I can't find any evidence of that on the web.
A side question: Does anyone know of a keyboard shortcut for flipping between the regular Tile Info and the alternative Tile Info?
Thanks for any help!
