Possible unit building alteritives. by sziggi

There are times when “unit build building” and “army build building" won’t work. Either the area has to many objects or it’s near a water body or a cliff, and trying to get those villagers to locate a dock is nearly impossible. The trigger is somewhat unstable. Heres the fix.

The Fix: For this we’ll use the Trojan horse; this unit seems to spawn building foundations very easily. Placing the Trojan horse make your first and only trigger.

Trigger one
On
Condition: Always
=============
effects:
Change unit type (select Trojan Horse)
…………Change to temple
Change unit type (select Trojan Horse)
…………change to temple

This will give you the foundation of a temple that is build able by villages.
You may be wondering why the effect change unit type is listed twice?
By listing the effect only once you will be creating a foundation that when built will be fully damaged, and burning. Could be a wanted effect.
By using this method you can later task more villager, to the build site by reselecting the Trojan Horse. This is useful if they are building under fire in a forward movement.

Leaving the Horse off to the eadge of the map you can when needed teleport it in as the wanted foundation and have waves of cine block units or armies come to build, by using the “unit work” trigger "army work" trigger.
I have also found that this is the only method out side of an A.I. script that will allow the building of a dock, as far as I know.The End.
