I just went cover to cover in my manual, and I found no reference to the "Population Control entity." Furthermore, I saw the big green ugly swamp-making shoggoth scrambling across the screen yesterday... What in the bejeebers was that??? I put the info shield on it and found what I consider to be a bug as the shield turned into some random bit pattern mess while the shield on the corner said he was one of my walkers. Are there any other nasty surprises waiting for me? I believe this happened on 58... Dave Buchthal P.S. My manual's last page number is 30 and has a few more pages, unnumbered after that. Does someone have something more?
