Throne Too Tall

[torqueblue]

So Apparently I can't Place a Throne to Command My Units when I have a Second Floor Above my Throne Room. Makes sense I guess Seeing as it's a Floor and not a Roof. Maybe make the Throne Shorter? I can work with redesigning my Rooms for it to fit, Just thought I'd let folks know.

Yes, same problem here. When placing my throne, I moved it around to see where I wanted it when I got a message that it can't go there because of a second floor. This is a problem DEVs.

When you add a second floor ( i assume you have to add it), does it add a second floor to the entire castle or can you section it?
As in, you have a larger ground floor and a smaller second floor above(?)

The process is modular, not static.

When you build a set of stairs, you have to climb to the top and build floors one by one. If you attach the stairs in such a way that connect to the "top floor" of an existing structure, you still have to build floors one by one.

You can get around the problem of the Throne being too high by - if your second floor runs over it - using the Invisible Foundation (red tile) to create an empty space, which will make an indoor balcony over the tile below.

I am thinking along the lines of having a central square that is the main castle that has floors going up, and then a smaller-ish square adjacened to it that just has the roof above it so you can put the throne in there.

That would work, the problem only happens if the roof doesn't exist (is an above floor).

Yep

I think its like that to encourage you to put your throne on the top floor of your base, sitting high above your lessers

I do build mine like that but I doubt that's it. Most often this kind of thing is a bug or oversight by the devs than deliberate.

OP: you might like to check their official bug report board, linked in one of the stickies, to see if this issue has been reported yet or not. If not, why not shoot one in.
