[BUG] Building unlimited buildings

from Elemental Forums

I could place as many buildings as I there were spaces, even though I was supposed to be limited to 2 because it was a new town.

While in the town selection mode, I placed a farm, and then I clicked on my sovereign picture which allowed me to place as many buildings as I wished of the building I had selected.

 

Below is an example, (note the blue guy is I'm assuming a unit left over of a soveriegn I killed, are they supposed to stay around? I couldn't click on it)

Could you actually build more buildings than are in the screenshot? You're not limited to 2 *buildings* in a new village, you're limited to 2 plots, which is 2 tile squares. You can put 4 houses into a single tile/plot, but the farm takes up the entire plot.

So in your screenshot, the number of buildings is normal for a starting town and if you look at the status info to the right of the the center portrait it shows you have 0 plots available to build on, which is correct.

Edit: It seems if the sovereign owned any units when it was defeated the unit pewter pieces remain on the map but can't be interacted with.

I had only 2 available plots to build on, my first town seemed to build correctly, then this one, I could build more than the limit. Hence the bug :)

Here is a sample of it with a new game first thing I did was build a new town:

it will only show you the closest two, but once you build a building, the available areas should grow.    Up to the number of spaces based on the size of your nown.    

 

All the screenshots fit here.  I only see 2 tiles (each able to hold 4 homes, or 1 farm) in use.    Plus a mouse pointer, which is represented by the building being placed (but it isn't actually placed)

I agree. This is default behavior and working as designed; not a bug.
