Thread: Having trouble placing a Cantina
All checks except land checks and city checks and are performed before you go into overhead view. City checks are performed AFTER selecting a green lot and clicking on it. Therefore this is not a city rank restriction, lot restriction or a skill restriction.
What you are dealing with is an available land restriction. I remember having trouble placing our cantina as it's not very slope tolerant and it's rather big. If you don't have enough contiguous flattish space free, it'll be red on the map. Best way to validate this is stand out at the edge of the city and try to place in the empty land outside (it won't let you, but it will turn green to indicate you passed land-checks)
Well, as I said before, there's plenty of land to be built on, we cleared a huge chunk out to avoid this problem.
I'm left thinking it's too close to the town hall though... I remember a similar problem in November when i placed my old Cantina, the first spot right across from town hall wasn't able to support the Cantina, but was good building ground. Can anyone say their Cantina is within 50m of their town hall, or would it be in land received when the upgrade to village came in or further out?
Thanks for the suggestions, we'll be doing some more PitA moving around tonight, and with any luck, be able to find a decent spot for the place.
