Wizard of Python? that a nickname for Belizan or something? lol 
Maybe whoever is doing the terrain can talk with other modders that have modified terrain in thier mods (I don't know how many have done this, FfH has vanilla civ terrain, but cities and improvements change thier look depending on the 'religion') because the answer could be in what the crater rim terrain is derived from or something or other... that last part didn't make too much sense to me either
. what I'm saying is that its something within the coding.

That's how JBG designed those civics. Warsong and I have talked quite a bit about various things we may do to modify the civics system in general and special civics in particular, but we don't have a concrete plan as yet, at least that I'm aware of, Warsong might have a clearer picture then I do on that score.
What is the "getting stuck on crater rims bug"? I've never heard of this before.

Matthewv did the tech behind our terrain with some graphical support from Dsquared (and a mighty fine job they did too
. I have no idea what you are talking about though 8). I think I must have missed a post somewhere. Matthewv will be back when we gear up for the new design (in theory at least), I just talked to him last week. So.. the answer to what, exactly?the getting stuck on crater rims is when units get stuck for a turn or two on the rim of those 4 square craters and they still have trouble getting out when I move them manually. it happens often when they are on auto explore.
Its not that bad, just really annoying and it can wait until we start doing the redesign of the whole thing and we will be discussing bugs and issues anyway.

Hmm.. That is strange. Annother annoying bug that will likely keep us stumped for a while.

Well, you understand that Craters cost 2mp to move on, like a hill in regular civ? The Auto-Explore issue isn't really a bug with our code, and it's nothing we are going to fix. It has to do with the algorithm the game uses for it's automated exploring and how it interacts with the attrition code. If it is especially unwieldy on craters, it must be because craters give out more attrition (I don't recall if they do or not, but they might). You can always turn attrition off from the map options when you generate your map 8).
hmm, I wonder what kind of dust feature? it can't be dust storms since theres no atmosphere (well a tiny one, but its a tenuous one which is a little above a near complete vacum) and thus no wind, and the dust seas probably represent where the dust is very light and floats easily.
anyway, is the new design info coming this week or next maybe? just wondering and I'm curious as to where we will be heading with this mod.

Air intake? On the moon?
Lunar Dust. http://ntrs.nasa.gov/archive/nasa/casi.ntrs.nasa.gov/19920002733_1992002733.pdf
The source of "wind" is Solar Wind, although given the static charges held by Lunar dust, shifts in the magnetic fields affecting the moon could also cause somewhat "violent" storms. We had some discussion on this previously, but basically, while it seemed over the course of an entire game, dust would only spread a few squares, it was more interesting to exagerate this effect.

Ahh, I see. You meant the air intakes within the life preservation system and not air intakes of jet turbines from vehicles. I misunderstood that.
