mystikmind2000: auto explore? No i don't think so, but not 100% sure since its not something i have ever wanted to use in this game.
The thing is, the AI will never understand that you should never try to cross fungus squares without full moves left.... you know, in case a mind worm is generated and you need to be able to escape or attack. (The exception is when you have a friendly unit close enough that can counter attack if needed).
Also what if you get a pod in the way and the auto explore unit is forced to land on it? Again, you should never explore pods without extra moves to spare or backup.
mystikmind2000, I think you are in the wrong forum ;)
CTP2 not Alpha Centauri/SMAC :O
But even for CTP2, I would never use autoexplore, I do vaguely remember there might be something, but I really discourage you to use it (or might have been in CTP1).
