| Posted : Tuesday, June 5, 2012 - 04:33 I'm sure it used to be you couldn't build within 6 hexes of a unit. But I tried building a barracks 7 hexes away (closest hex of the barracks to the unit) and it said I was too close. Yet, in same campaign I've built smaller buildings 7 hexes away fine. |

| Posted : Tuesday, June 5, 2012 - 23:35 Best I can determine is that 6 still works for me and I'm inclined to think that you're either counting wrong or missing an obstacle or encounterring a bad hex or some other bug ...
lots of the latter I've come to realise in these Mog made maps.

| Posted : Wednesday, June 6, 2012 - 03:48 You should be able to build right next to buildings, but there used to be (not sure if it's still an issue) at/from/between 7:00 to 10:00 a questionable distance (i.e. one can count 6 hexes from the builder in 6 directions hexagonally (i.e. where hexes are not clearly within the hexagon in those vicinities used to be a problem)).

| Posted : Wednesday, June 6, 2012 - 11:13 Not sure what the rule is (been gone too long)...I was thinking 5 space clear between...BUT, one interesting change I've noticed, the unknowns or random units have no zoc effect for building. |

| Posted : Thursday, June 7, 2012 - 00:49 Might as well mention this while I'm at it, that is, I suspect that with non-medieval characters (because I'm using Barbarians second time), bugs may be more rampant (i.e. e.g. I busted a tribute pile in the PG game as a Barbarian and was still able to move the unit afterward).

| Posted : Friday, June 8, 2012 - 00:48 Here's an example of where for some reason my Barbarian grunt unit can't move adjacent to the scumbag Demonic unit and I can only refer to the reason as some sort of map bug or character bug: uploadingit.com/file/view/xgh8lngwj3xdhfu3/nogogrunts.JPG
Also in this same scene, I did get fooled thinking I had 6 spaces to allow me to build a palisade, but forgot that it's 6 spaces from the space where the building will be placed (i.e. not including it).

| Posted : Saturday, June 9, 2012 - 03:21 There was no *apostrophe s* after *"scumbag"*, but I do understand and appreciate how you read it that way.
