But they do get positioned right next to the headquarters, so the gain is very little - we would need to place a building that has a bigger conquer area than the headquarters for it to make any difference - that would be a castle/fortress, which needs a big building space. So, we won't gain that much.

I have now tested all official maps with Player 1 and there were no problems placing the buildings. So, I think we're in the clear here, and the players can profit from the additional territory.

Something for Build 20 maybe - open a new bug?

When you next have some time, it would be great if you could look at some of the merge requests that kaputtnik has already approved - some of them don't have much new code in them.
