I know there's currently poor to no collision when building structures, but I ran into an AI commander who managed to pull this interesting feat of construction off: Is it supposed to be possible to build structures in the sides of mountains and canyons like that? I would have figured, much like other RTS games, that such terrain would be off limits for construction. If it is supposed to be off limits, I also have to ask what other locales are intended to be no-build zones, if any?
Those turrets weren't built, they are spawned for AI players in a set pattern as a placeholder as there is no AI at this point. That's most likely why you get situations like this. Mike
Interesting, I didn't realize they were preset, but I suppose it makes sense with the current state of the game. I had figured their AI was at least basic enough to build in that particular pattern.
That being said, as of a build or two ago, it was still possible to build structures on the sides of mesas and canyon walls. So there's still some work to be done with making those off limits.
