v1.52: Flying axeman attack

[SLM]

Flying attacks
Since the 1.52 update I've been experiencing flying attacks. See attachment. The attacking unit 'flies' over the terrain whereas it itsn't supposed to fly...

With the previous patch and unpatched version of CIV IV I've had ships floating away off-screen while attacking but never this. Seems related though.

Sleep loop
This is not new in v1.52. Sometimes when you Press [F] you keep on sending the sleep/fortify command to the command queue:

Tooltips
As reported by several others, the tooltips still disappear sometimes, seemingly at random.

Other
Not sure if this is a bug or 'feature':
SAM infantry has a ranged defense? (from what I've seen 2 tiles on each side, covering effectively a 5x5 square)

I think we might be experiencing the same thing...I wouldn't call it flying though, and it's not only axemen.

In the later stages of the game, units will pan across the screen in a walking animation. I didn't make them move, nor are they really "moving" at all, it's just a graphical error I'm sure. It's odd to see 3 or 4 working zooming across the screen when I'm in enemy territory.

Also, sometimes, when the AI enters battle with me, the screen will rotate down as though it was zooming on the unit for the battle scene, but the screen will be in the middle of the world map (where ever that is, usually in fog). Irritating...as I would like to see the fight. I cannot move the screen during this time.

Both are minor issues that will hopefully be remedied when I upgrade my radeon 8500 -- someday.

In the Civilopedia, check out Game Concepts -> Air Units. At the very end, under Ground Unit Interception of Aircraft, it states that SAM Infantry have a chance to intercept enemy air units that attack their square or an adjacent square.
