workshop gather point bug

this thing has been going on for months now and its quite annoying.. basically when you set the gather point left, right or above the workshop (doesnt matter if there is nothing around the workshop, bugs out as well) the units come from the lower corner of the building.

so if you want the unit to go "north" it comes out south and has to move all across the workshop with the well known clunky siege pathing and movement.

does anyone know how to go around this until they look into it and fix it?? so far the only thing that has worked for me is placing the workshop north of the gather point i want them to come out which is easier said than done considering map control, natural resources, etc.

some people have suggested to block the southern corner of the building with palisades or other stuff so that the units cant come out from there but that also is very micro intensive and some times bbc or scorpions (which are smaller than rams) have been bugged out between the buildings so its a bad idea

what can britons do vs ghulam?

i got simply overwhelmed by ghulam mid-castle age knowing their plan and going longswords + xbow myself but due to the pass through damage my longswords still melted. i read that they are vulnerable to cavalry but briton cav aint the best out there.

what else can I do as britons vs full ghulam spam?

how is this the most accomplished achievement in the game?!?!

what am i missing here? achievements for single player like beating an AI on standard or finishing william wallace campaign should be way higher considering the player base distribution

this achievement calls more to multiplayer imo, unless there's a secret custom scenario/skirmish im not aware of? 11

palps cant keep track of everything.. the rampart issue

As project necromancer and tantiss base goes, it was supposed to be super sneaky and no one should ever know the location and what they were cookin in there.

and yet after the empire betrays rampart and uses him as an escape goat for the Kamino debacle, his punishment should have been death or heavily guarded imprisonment. When TBB rescues him it put all of Dr Hemlocks work and secrecy into jeopardy and dont tell me it was because of some plot hole or armor shenanigans.

i love that they showed omegas ideas for tracking back to her after surrendering in Pabu childish and short lived (found the tracker right away and crosshair failed spectacularly in shooting the tracking device into the gunship).

so why was palpatines punishment for rampart so frivolous when he was clearly a threat to Tantiss base and could certainly betray the empire back in any given time?

woke up to very good news

despite the mischief of the people in charge of the map pool rotation putting 3 nomad-start maps as options to create division and take voting % out, our community came through and THE nomad won once again top1 with 15%

see you in the best map ever created!

when you have to pick either spearmen or skirmishers and their subsequent free upgrades, it doesnt matter which one you pick.. the other unit also gets upgraded for free

kinda the vibe of all this new feature decissions in the 3k and chieftains DLC: most of what you choose doesnt really impact the gameplay

for future DLC please devs, please hear us and make campaigns like they were before and with normal menu

was just playing a ranked 1v1 on the gol drush variant, game went pretty smooth until early castle age where my FC conqs started to get the upper hand over his ball of xbows

the other player paused without saying anything and i thought "Ok, emergency ill just wait" but then they unpaused after like 2 mins without saying anything again

after a few mins they paused/unpaused again 2 more times without saying a word so i began to get a little bit tilted. i waited 1 min, said "?" or "14?" dont remember actually and I unpaused the game. a few seconds later (about 20-25 where he was completely idle) the large text of desynch appeared in the screen and he disconnected from the game giving me the W

what do you normally do on these ocassions? do you always wait until they unpause, even if there is no talk and they did it several times? i dont have much experience because normally theres at least a "sec" or a taunt as some sort of conversation

i know its stated in the fandom that he is a unique species that we dont know anything else about.. but i was recently watching "retrieval" and he might actually be a zygerrian: ears, nose and eyes kinda fit and his forehead could be the result of a mining/factory/chemical accident, same as his limping and amputed robotic arm

add to that the fact that he has tons of what he calls "crewmembers" which are clearly slaves working to his sole benefit and i think its a solid theory

thoughts?
