Okay, you might not belive me, but, i found out something the other day. You can put people in buildings (not garrisoning). all you have to do is to put a building (like a barracks) over a unit (like an archer) and boom! there you have it! (this is as same as the cliff bug, but it's with buildings). You can do this in a random map too (non-custom game) just get a unit, build a building that completly blocks the unit from view, then build a building to make the guy inside the building.

NOOOO !
Sorry insane but this just aint so !
If you build a building on a random map the unit you are building it on auto-moves a soon as the vills start hammering !
Now I havent checked in the editor.. but I think it is the same.. the unit just pops to the side of the building.. Map copy does allow some odd effects with unit placement however !

THis is onyl ment for eye candy in scinarios. NOne of the objects can move but they look cool if there in the patio on the cathedral or under the sheltered part of the blacksmith.

Can the archers fire though? And can they be hit. What if the building is destroyed?

If you use the editor and place a building (like a TC) and then place a unit (such as a villager) near the centre of the building they appear to "disappear". In fact, when you start the scenario, the are garrisoned inside the building and will shoot arrows if the structure can.
