Architect Archive

I just made architect and wanted to give a friendly warning to all the other architects out there. Do NOT build really close to a battlefield. Currently, on my server Kauri, Tattoine has a good site of steel near the battlefield. I've placed tons of harvesters there and went to place a second wind generator. Since it was in overhead view mode during placing I couldn't see where it was going down at exactly. It's just outside the battlefield "poles" and everytime I try to get close enough to do anything I get the message "You can not enter the battlefield with temporary enemies." It will then sling me back about 20m, away from the harvester of course, and the whole process repeats. At this point I just want to get close enough to destroy it and place another one somewhere else. I've currently got a petition ticket in place but I'm not sure if they can/will help, we'll see.

Let everyone learn from my mistake hehe,

Just a little sidenote on this issue. I managed to move in to the battlefield and get the "Pick a faction side" message. I stood next to the harvester and hit cancel and it left me standing there. I was able to pick up the wind gen and reclaim it.

For future reference, I saw the placement of the wind gen in the exact same spot this time. Part of the 3/3 grid footprint went into the battlefield. Make sure when you place something close it does not overlap into the battlefield. This will save ALOT of headaches.

Slightly wiser...

Thanks for the tip. Perhaps the Developers should look at a small no build range extending around a battlefield's perimeter - around 100m or should do the trick.

Nice tip, thanks. Now about that steel vein....
