Placing a castle???

CoyoteKid · 16th February 2008, 10:59 PM

Ok here is my situation, i have 3 houses surrounding this lump (shown in picture), a friend of mine told me that I could place a castle directly over the lump and it would be able to place. Was curious on if anyone else knows about this? placing a house directly over a lump will it place kinda like how you can place over rocks, trees and little puddles of water if u have it directly over it. any suggestions and comments would be helpful because that is 8500 items i need to move and it would suck if i wasent able to place
thanks

Have ya tried placing a castle on that spot on Test centre?
I'd try there.

Just went on test and tried to test a plot on an identical spot...sorry, but I kept getting the message this is an invalid location, and there is an obstacle blocking this location or part of the structure would be on invalid terrain. The coordinates of the spot i tried to place over with a tower and a 16x16 is 82o 26'N x 154o 54'W.

Yea you might get away with putting the "bump" in the courtyard area

It is possible. But the center of the castle would probably have to go right over that.

If you do end up placing I would be extra cautious after telling the entire world that you are.

ive tried on test center placing a castle directly over it and cant seem to get a valid location. ive tried other types of houses as well, and no luck so far, im going to try and get it in the courtyard next, if anyone else has some luck please let me know

OK here is the latest news, i went onto TC and played around for a bit, and marked a few lumps on automap then ran around a few shards and happened to find a castle sitting on a lump in trammel so i did a few calculations and what not and i tried placing on TC and it told me was a valid location. So this morning i emptied out my homes and I got to place my castle on the lump and it is a valid location and properly placed, so all worked out. thanks everyone for your help
