It is not invisible and invulnerable against all unit type, but again 
some kinds of units. For instance subs may not hit fighter, and may 
not be seen by fighter. Or Satellite may see ground units, but no 
hit may be possible from one to another, and the cell containing 
a satellite (even hostile) should allways be free for ground units. 

Or another example : aircraft should be able to jump over a line of 
small guerilla in order to bomb further. When I played xconq, bombers 
needed to destroy the first units to grab a hole in ground lines, as 
if ground units were ten thousand kilometer high.

The impossibility to jump over a continuous line of defender was 
a great limit of xconq, for at least all modern games where aerial 
and submarine operation are designed. Is it possible to solve this 
difficulty ?
