1. Go to emp_escort as BE 2. Work out where the no-build zone ends in front of BE's mainbase 3. Stand inside the brush, just on its edge 4. You can't place a turret anywhere 5. Edge yourself outside the brush 6. You can place the turret even further into the brush than where you were standing
Also, what the fuck is up with this new "you cant no mine in here" stuff? In much the same manner, you can still 9 mine the (now apparently unmineable) slaugh bridge, though i dont know which genius decided to disallow it in the first place. People forget you actually channel dropping mines and this crap just disallows you from starting the channel.
You could never place mines when standing on any buildable surface. But you can jump and drop them while in the air. Also the no build brush has always been like that. // Shh....same works with restrict turret lvl brush. Just move outside the brush to upgrade turrets.
Actually it probably got forgotten during the mass bugfixes that went on a couple of versions ago, It's worth bringing up again, it'll probably get fixed if it's reported somewhere in the testing forums or whatever.
Bitch this whole forum is dedicated to finding and reporting these, and Candles DOES go through the bugs (Even if it makes him sad)
Im pretty sure i was able to 9mine old slaughtered right in the middle of it, without resorting to funky shit.
that sounds like it would be easily fixable by just checking against the placeable position instead of the player position - but then this is empires where fix and easy cannot be used in the same sentence.
I think that was before steam. At one point someone added a brush to restrict mines on the bridge. Also around the same time there was an update that made it so mines didn't work right on buildable things. Like on octagons. I thought someone removed the restrict mines brush. But only the person who did the current version would know.....Who did make the current version ?
