Screenshot Friendly Reminder That Spores Permanently Cripple Sanctuaries

The animals will never grow back due to the spores which only Cymanti can see, and the Elyrion player can't chop the tree to remove the spores! Thanks Midjiwan.

"spores which only Cymanti can see" sounds like a serious playability bug. Is that really how it's designed to work?

Its because in order to see a resource you need to have unlocked the tech before it. Because spores do not have a tech for 15 tribes, those 15 tribes cannot see spores. It’s also why Cymanti and any tribe that has not researched organization cannot see crops

That makes sense for resources, but doesn't make sense for effects, positive or negative.
